The Horizontal Scan Option for the Narda SignalShark expands its automatic direction-finding (ADF) capabilities by enabling horizontal scanning of the environment. This function works in conjunction with the ADF antenna to perform a full 360° sweep, identifying the azimuthal direction of signal sources with high accuracy.
Designed for spectrum monitoring, interference hunting, and source localization, this option supports automated, continuous, or stepped scanning modes. Operators can visualize signal direction on a polar plot (bearing view), helping identify multiple emitters or track signal movement across a horizontal plane.
Horizontal scanning is essential for both fixed-site spectrum monitoring and mobile applications where rapid directional analysis is critical. When used with mapping and localization tools, this feature contributes to triangulation and geolocation of RF sources.
