Andre Deluxe – Multifunctional search device

The multifunction search device ANDRE is designed for detecting radio frequency signal sources in the near reception zone. The device combines a wideband electromagnetic field detector, an infrared range receiver, various additional probes for checking wired lines, and evaluating the vibroacoustic protection of the premises. The device’s configuration includes a wide set of search probes and accessories that allow increasing the search efficiency. ANDRE is an excellent complement to a spectrum analyzer, allowing for a quick preliminary assessment of the radio environment. The most complete configuration.

Purpose

• Conducting work on radio environment assessment.
• Searching, identification, and localization of devices with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cell phones, etc.
• Installation, maintenance, and repair of radio transmitting systems. Search for sources of radio frequency interference.
• Conducting research and development work. Training students.
• Search and measurement of acoustic leakage, ultrasonic and mechanical vibrations.

Capabilities

• The portable wideband electromagnetic field indicator in conjunction with the MW antenna is capable of instantly analyzing the radio frequency spectrum in the range from 10 kHz to 12 GHz with optimal detection range.
• The response time for analyzing digital and analog radio signals is no more than 10 nanoseconds – higher than any modern spectrum analyzer.
• Automatic analysis of detected signals and determination of their affiliation to permitted bands. Creating a signal list.
• Measuring the frequency of the most powerful signal.
• AM and FM demodulators with an oscilloscope.
• Localization of the signal source by relative level, change in signal power.
• Monitoring mode – alarm activation (light, sound, or vibration) upon signal appearance.
• Ability to check wired lines, built-in infrared and visible range detector.
• Detection and analysis of acoustic leakage and ultrasonic vibrations.
• Saving screen shots, recording the signal list in Excel format, recording audio files for compiling further reports.
• Software for further work with accumulated data.
• 5″ touchscreen, compact size of the device.
• USB port for data transfer.

Search Mode

The search mode displays the signal level, frequency, alarm threshold, signal affiliation (cellular communication, wifi, radio stations, etc.). Data accumulation time is adjustable, and can be 5 sec, 10 sec, 30 sec, 1 minute, 10 minutes, 12 hours, 24 hours.

Working with the Signal List

Determining the affiliation of detected signals to permitted bands according to ITU. Automatic creation of a signal list based on threshold exceedance. Creating lists of “friendly” signals, by date/time, etc. Signal level indication, output of powerful signals to the beginning of the list. Detailed information about the signal: frequency, power level, band, date/time, number of detections, signal type.

Audio Mode

In audio mode, the received RF signal level is displayed, the received signal can be listened to, and its oscillogram can be viewed. Recording the received signal as an audio file is possible (up to 10 seconds duration), as well as listening to a previously recorded audio file.

Covert Search

Using a wideband antenna for covert wearing, the compact size of the device, and built-in vibration indication, signal source detection can be conducted without attracting attention.

The ANDRE DELUXE configuration is supplied as “Multifunction Search Device ANDRE ADVANCED” + “Set of Additional Antennas and Accessories for ANDRE ADVANCED” (necessary to expand the configuration to the ANDRE DELUXE version).
