Signal Hound’s SM435C is a high performance, real-time spectrum analyzer and monitoring receiver with a 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ port, enabling the SM435C to communicate with a PC over long distances using a fiber optic cable. This analyzer features device control and data transfer via an SFP+ connection, rather than a USB connection. The analyzer contains a 20 MHz to 43.5 GHz sub-octave preselector that allows tuning from 100 kHz to 43.5 GHz. The SM435C has 160 MHz continuous streaming I/Q over 10GbE SFP+, with 110 dB of dynamic range, 1 THz/sec sweep speed at 30 kHz resolution bandwidth (using Nuttall windowing) and phase noise performance low enough to contribute less than 0.1 percentage point error to error vector magnitude measurements. The spectrum analyzer also contains a GPIO port for antenna switching. The form factor of the SM435C allows it to fit in the corner of a test bench or a conveniently sized enclosure.

The SM435C targets applications involving 5G mmWave monitoring and analysis, 24 GHz ISM frequency monitoring, complete Ka-Band spectrum testing and analysis of emerging and new high frequency RF signals. For technical surveillance countermeasures-specific applications, the SM435C is also compatible with the Kestrel and SCEPTRE software packages to provide an affordable and powerful countermeasure solution.

The SM435C includes all the required operating software for operation. As with other Signal Hound devices, the proprietary Spike™ software provides the device controls, signal visualization display and data export tools. The SM435C comes with a signed calibration certificate and a printed packet of calibration data.
