2 Introduction
2.1 Overview
PCTEL’s SeeGull CW Transmitter supports the design, verification, and optimization of in-building
networks. It emits up to four simultaneous continuous wave signals on any technology or band,
with a frequency range of 400 MHz to 2.7 GHz. This replicates a live network environment for RF
propagation testing. The data can be collected through a PCTEL scanning receiver and
processed using SeeHawk® or third party post processing tools. Results are used to validate or
modify design with optimal antenna locations and coverage capability for each segment of an inbuilding cellular network.
2.2 Feature List
• Transmitter mode: Four-Port Continuous Wave.
• Adjustable frequency.
• Standard frequency step: 100 KHz.
• Adjustable output power range: -10 dBm to 10, 12, or 15 dBm depending on frequency
selected.
• Output power accuracy of 1 dBm.
• Up to 24 saved channel configurations for quick access.
• Intuitive interface with LCD display.
• Internal, rechargeable battery.
• Optional external battery for increased operation time.
• Portable and light weight ergonomic design.
• One year PCTEL warranty.
2.3 Safety Compliances
WARNING: These devices have no protection against lightning. Please turn off the CW
Transmitter during a thunderstorm and, if applicable, take the antenna(s) inside before a
thunderstorm approaches. The transmitter itself is not intended for “in weather” outdoor use.
