Mission critical radar systems such as civilian air traf-
c control and military air defense radars must be fully
operational at all times or lives are at stake. This requires
precise system performance validation during installa-
tion, routine maintenance and in-depth troubleshooting.
Until now, the only choice was to use expensive and time
consuming lab-grade spectrum analyzers, vector network
analyzers (VNAs), average and peak power meters, and
vector voltmeters.

Top 5 Reasons Why FieldFox is the Ideal Radar
Installation and Maintenance Tool
Your Solution
Recent technological breakthroughs allow all of the RF
Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) tests to be made with one
precise, rugged, eld-ready handheld analyzer.
FieldFox is the world’s most integrated RF and microwave
analyzer due to unprecedented levels of integration.
FieldFox makes the world’s most accurate eld measure-
ments due to Keysight Technologies, Inc. calibration and
measurement science.
FieldFox has all of the instrument functionality needed
for LRU test. No other handheld offers a full-featured
VNA, spectrum analyzer, vector voltmeter, peak power
meter, power meter and cable and antenna analyzer
in one rugged, 6.6 lb. ergonomic package. That means
ease of access, shorter jumper cables (enhanced
accuracy), ease of use (one instrument to learn), and
enhanced team productivity.
1. Increases your efciency for maintenance with a single instrument
2. FieldFox data correlation increases your condence and reduces risk
FieldFox achieves S-parameter results that track the
world’s highest performance VNA within a few hun-
dredths of a dB, and the world’s highest performance
spectrum analyzer within 10ths of a dB. That means
that you can have condence that measured results will
correlate with benchmark data taken in the develop-
ment lab, and at system installation. All of this reduces
the risk of passing bad LRUs or failing good ones;
ensuring optimum system performance.

Most traditional benchtop equipment is specied at
room temperature, 23°C ± 5°C with accuracy not as-
sured outside of that narrow range. FieldFox is guaran-
teed to meet specied performance when operated in
a temperature range of -10°C to 55°C, ensuring reliable
data. Unlike most benchtops and handhelds, FieldFox is
completely sealed -- no fans or vents, providing mea-
surement stability in harsh environments.
Unlike benchtops or other handhelds, FieldFox spec-
trum analyzers reach full amplitude accuracy immedi-
ately at power on. With FieldFox’s CalReady feature,
the VNA is already calibrated at the test port without
having to use a cal kit in the eld. Alternatively, use
QuickCal to easily calibrate to the end of the test cable.

3. FieldFox is built for rigorous eld testing
FieldFox meets MIL-PRF-28800F Class 2 requirements, MIL-STD-
810G Method 511.5, Procedure 1 requirements for operation in
explosive environments, and IEC/EN 60529 IP53 requirements for
protection from dust and water.
4. FieldFox increases system uptime
FieldFox’s QuickCal provides hassle-free calibration in the eld.
5. FieldFox reduces your cost of test
Replacing four or ve benchtop instruments with one
combination handheld analyzer reduces the cost of test
in numerous ways:
– The initial instrument cost is typically one third that
of comparable benchtops.
– Annual calibration costs are reduced by a factor up
to ve.
– FieldFox offers the highest reliability of any com-
plex RF & mW instrument; helps reduce overall test
costs by at least 50% over benchtops.
– Using only one instrument (versus multiple) is easier
to learn, saving training costs.
