Introduction

RF Spectrum Analyzer and Frequency Coordination Software

Clear Waves is a diagnostic tool specifically designed for the wireless professional audio and video industries. It is the industry’s first, PC-based tool to offer RF spectrum analysis, intermodulation analysis and automatic charting of open white space (open RF frequency) for use with wireless microphones, in-ear monitors, remote control, security, access control, etc — all built into a single product. Clear Waves’ unique combination of features — RF spectrum analysis plus intermodulation analysis — make it an extremely versatile and powerful tool, one that extends beyond the bounds of traditional RF analyzers.

Clear Waves RF Spectrum Analyzer

Clear Waves can use either the RF Explorer or RF Viewer spectrum analyzer for data acquisition. It turns data collected from these analyzers into graphical charts, displays in real time and performs intermodulation analysis — enabling users to more readily visualize the RF environment, coordinate channel assignments for wireless transmitters, monitor RF signals, troubleshoot RF issues, and detect sources of RF interference.
