BumbleBee ™ is a precision calibrated spectrum analyzer

that interfaces with HP’s iPAQ® PocketPC®. The handheld

receiver measures 4 distinct wireless bands: 900 MHz,

2.4-2.5 GHz, 5.15-5.50 GHz & 5.5-5.9 GHz. BumbleBee ™

allows the user to capture, display and record each of these

bands for network installation, coverage and interference
analysis. The iPAQ’s touch screen allows field engineers to

tap on points of interest in the waveform and “zoom” in for

further analysis. Advanced spectrum analysis features include

3 waveform traces, peak hold, peak search, and user selectable

power triggers. BumbleBee ™ allows for on-the-fly switching of bands

for realtime spectral analysis of many wireless standards including

RFID, VoIP, 802.11(b,a,g & Bluetooth) and cordless phones/video.

BumbleBee ™ does the job of multiple wireless test instruments all in

the palm of your hand.
