Spectraware Spectrum Analysis Software

A spectrum analysis software platform that provides real-time data visualization, measurement tools, and demodulation capabilities for RF monitoring and signal intelligence. Spectraware powers the Spectrum Viewer application within SXM, enabling remote spectrum observation from any location without field equipment. It also operates standalone with thinkRF’s R5550, R5750, and R6000 real-time spectrum analyzers for on-site analysis. Designed for telecom operators, regulators, SIGINT practitioners, and TSCM professionals, Spectraware delivers professional-grade spectrum analysis in a clean, intuitive interface compatible with Windows and Linux environments.

Three visualization modes. Automated measurements. Professional demodulation. Windows and Linux compatible.*.

Precision Spectrum and Signal Analysis for Every Application

“Spectraware integrates with thinkRF Real-Time Spectrum Analyzers and powers the Spectrum Viewer application within SXM. Whether analyzing signals on-site with portable hardware or monitoring remotely through a distributed sensor network, users access the same professional-grade visualization modes, automated measurements, and demodulation capabilities. Frequency, Bandwidth, and Amplitude controls remain visible; all other settings are accessible within two clicks. Customized configurations can be saved and reloaded for common operational scenarios.”

Comprehensive Data Visualization

Spectraware delivers flexible real-time bandwidth – 100 kHz, 10 MHz, 40 MHz, or 100 MHz – enabling everything from fine-grained signal inspection to wideband spectrum monitoring across any application. Three visualization modes – Spectrogram, Persistence, and Time Domain – allow users to instantly adapt their view to match the analysis at hand, so the right picture of the spectrum is always within reach.

Powerful Measurement Tools

The Spectraware software provides the capabilities you need with a large collection of standard features and functions. Automatic measurements including Channel Power and Occupied Bandwidth, built-in horizontal and vertical cursors, multiple markers, and various traces are all available to analyze all signal related parameters.

Record and Save for Future Analysis

Easily save and record data for future in-depth analysis that is difficult to do in real-time. Users can either manually save data for any duration of time or set up triggers to automatically capture and save only if the signal falls within a specified range. This makes the file size more manageable and allows the user to capture only the signal of interest.

Demodulation for Signal Analysis

Conduct both spectrum and signal analysis and extract the original information-bearing signal from the carrier wave with demodulation capabilities. Gapless streaming allows seamless playback of demodulated audio which can be amplified from 0% – 300%. View Constellation, Frequency Domain, and Time Domain graphs in the clean, professional interface and record and play back streams with full demodulation and graphing support.
