The Giga-tronics ASAM18A AXIe Advanced Signal Analyzer (ASA) is a real-time signal analyzer used for receiving agile, phase-coherent signals across the frequency range of 500 MHz to 18 GHz. The downconverting input allows the ASAM18A to receive complex, wide bandwidth signals for testing Radar and EW systems. The modular ASGM18A is based on the industry standard AXIe format and works with the Giga-tronics SRM100A System Reference Module and either the CHSIS2A AXIe 2-channel or CHSIS4A AXIe 4-channel chassis for multi-channel, phase coherent operation.
