SPECTRUM ANALYZER INTEGRATED IN A POINT-TO-POINT OUTDOOR UNIT
A fully functional spectrum analyzer in integrated into an outdoor communications unit of a point-to-point communication system. The spectrum analyzer of the outdoor unit provides for remote spectral diagnostics for network planning and wideband operation and is operable to capture signals outside of the signal bandwidth. With the spectrum analyzer integrated into the outdoor unit, accessing spectral diagnostic information is conducted without having to disrupt the normal operation of the communications network.
1 . A communication unit, comprising:
a transmitter generating outgoing communication signals;
a receiver processing received incoming communication signals; and
an integrated spectrum analyzer with digital signal processor, the digital signal processor configured to process at least the incoming communication signals to determine spectral information associated with the incoming communication signals.
