Features in depth
A cellular signal analyzer in your hand
Beyond a spectrum trace, the SHA860A brings 5G NR and LTE over-the-air testing, 110 MHz real-time bandwidth and IQ capture into the field — so you can find, decode and record modern wireless signals where they actually live.
- 5G NR OTA: multi-PCI, multi-beam analysis & constellation
- LTE FDD/TDD OTA with multi-PCI analysis
- 110 MHz real-time analysis, 3.51 µs 100% POI
- IQ data acquisition in 110 MHz bandwidth for offline work
Every RF measurement, out in the field
One handheld covers the whole job: modulation and pulse analysis, a vector network analyzer, cable-and-antenna testing, an independent source and EMF/EMI — with coverage mapping and GNSS logging to record it all.
- Analog AM/FM/PM & digital ASK/FSK/PSK/MSK/QAM + audio listen
- 1-path-2-port VNA — S11/S21, S11 directionality 40 dB, S21 114 dB
- Cable-and-antenna test, distance-to-fault & time-domain
- Independent source to 7.5 GHz · 12–32 V bias-out for TTA · EMF/EMI
Every input and output
The top panel carries the whole connector set — two N-type RF ports for the analyzer, source and 1-path-2-port VNA, reference and trigger inputs, GPS and DC-bias, USB, LAN and audio — so the SHA860A drops straight into a field or bench setup.
- RF In / Port 2 and Source / Port 1 — two N-type ports (max +30 dBm and +27 dBm, 50 VDC) for the analyzer input, source and 1-path-2-port VNA
- Ref In & Trig In (BNC) — lock to a 10 MHz house reference and trigger externally
- GPS Ant (SMA) for positioning & logging, and Bias Out (SMA) delivering 12–32 V DC to tower-mounted amplifiers
- USB-C device port (PC / remote control) and USB-A host (storage, mouse & keyboard)
- LAN (RJ-45) for LXI / web-browser remote, plus a 3.5 mm headphone jack
- 9–12 VDC (4 A) power input and a Kensington security-lock slot

Frequently asked questions
Frequency range: the SHA861A covers 9 kHz to 3.6 GHz and the SHA862A to 7.5 GHz. Everything else — the 8.4-inch platform, 110 MHz analysis bandwidth, OTA and analysis options — is identical, and the SHA861A upgrades to 7.5 GHz with the F2 licence.
The SHA860A is a full handheld signal analyzer: up to 110 MHz real-time and IQ bandwidth, 5G NR and LTE over-the-air measurement, pulse analysis and coverage mapping. The SHA850A is a handheld spectrum analyzer with cable-and-antenna testing. Both share the 8.4-inch touch platform and 3.2 kg body.
Yes, with the NR and LTE options: 5G NR multi-PCI and multi-beam OTA analysis with constellation, and LTE FDD/TDD OTA with multi-PCI analysis — ideal for cellular install, drive test and coverage.
With the B1A bandwidth option it reaches 110 MHz of real-time analysis at a 3.51 µs 100% POI, and the IQA option adds IQ data acquisition across that 110 MHz for offline analysis.
Yes, as options: the CAT licence adds VSWR, return loss, cable loss and distance-to-fault; the VNA licence gives 1-path-2-port S11/S21 with 114 dB S21 dynamic range. An independent source and 12–32 V bias-out support tower-mounted-amplifier (TTA) testing.
