N6854A Geolocation System

This step by step process will help you prepare a quotation or purchase order for a

Keysight Technologies, Inc. Geolocation System using the N6841A RF Sensor.

Geolocation System

There are ve elements that need to be congured:

– Hardware

– Software

– Bundle

– Training and Consulting Services

– Support

STEP 1. Congure the Hardware

N6841A Keysight RF Sensor

Included with this part number are the RF Sensor, mounting bracket with hardware and

the Sensor Management Tool (SMT) software. The minimum number of Sensors required

to make a geolocation measurement is three. However, depending on the kind of signals

and physical terrain of your monitoring area, more Sensors may be required. Work with

your local Application Engineer or the RF Sensor Support email box (listed at the end of

this document) to determine the right number of RF Sensors to meet your needs. Many

rst time customers begin with ve.

There are four options available to purchase with the N6841A:

Option N6841A-GPS supplies a GPS antenna with 2 meter cable. Select this option if the

Sensor is to be used outdoors so timing reference and location data can

automatically be sent to the Sensor Management Tool.

Option N6841A-SP1 supplies an indoor-rated AC adapter to power the N6841A with

either 120 or 240 VAC. This option is recommended for rapid setup and conguration

prior to deployment.

Option N6841A-GFP enables the RF Sensor to be used by the Keysight N6854A

Geolocation Server Software. It is not required if the Sensor will only be used for spec-

trum monitoring or signal analysis.

Option N6841A-MFP enables the Sensor to have multiple Digital Down Converters

(DDC’s) with bandwidth up to 160 kHz for RF Survey or Intercept and Collection applica-

tions.

For additional information on the N6841A, refer to the Technical Datasheet, Keysight

Publication #5990-3839EN.

If you already have RF Sensors, but require a hardware upgrade, follow the guidance

provided on the next page.

This guide will help you congure a geolocation system that meets your needs and

includes the measurement options and capabilities you require.

N6850A Broadband Omni-Directional Antenna

The N6850A is a compact omni-directional antenna designed to work with the RF Sen-

sor. It has broad frequency coverage and a uniform antenna pattern in both azimuth and

elevation to improve the ability to use power and time differences to determine emitter

location.

For additional information, refer to the Technical Datasheet, Keysight publication

#5992-1024EN

N6841AF-UG1 Hardware Upgrade

The N6841AF-UG1 upgrade adds these improvements to early versions of the N6841A

(prior to serial number US50310599).

– Increased processor memory from 256 MBytes to 1 GByte to provide longer capture

and LOOKback memory.

– Optimized direct memory access (DMA) to improve data transfer speeds in the RF

Sensor and improved operation on slow data networks.

– Improved FFT which enables gapless signal search (in 20 MHz bandwidth) and im-

proved signal search speeds.

– FFT averaging in RF Sensor hardware to increase search performance and lower

network trafc.

– New internal RF cabling for better RF performance.

– Simplied networking: fewer ports and easier setup when Sensors are behind a

Virtual Private Network (VPN) or rewalls.

– New rmware that supports enhanced geo-location algorithms and faster signal

processing.

NOTE: If the RF Sensor has a sticker that reads “Upgraded to 5040”, it has already

been upgraded.

– For more information on the hardware upgrade, refer to Keysight Service Note

N6841A-01.

The N6850A ships with an innovative mounting xture that can adapt to pole, rail, tripod or magnetic mounting kits.

STEP 2. Congure the Software Applications

N6854A Geolocation Server Software

The Keysight Geolocation Server Software is an easy-to-use application for manual

geolocation measurements initiated by Time or RF power trigger.

This software is downloadable from www.keysight.com/nd/N6854A and requires a

license to run. Free 60-day trial licenses are available and can be obtained from the

webpage.

N6854A provides one license to run the Geolocation Server Software with Time Differ-

ence of Arrival (TDOA), Received Signal Strength (RSS) and Hybrid (adaptive TDOA RSS)

algorithms on one PC. There is no cost associated with part number N6854A. However, it

requires N6841A RF Sensors with option GFP enabled. As the RF Sensor network grows,

additional Geo licenses can be obtained without added cost.

If Sensors have already been purchased, add geolocation software by ordering the

N6854A plus a quantity of N6841A-GFP that represents the number of Sensors in the

network.

For more information, refer to the N6854A Product Overview, publication #5989-9207EN.
