Find the source. Fix the problem. Keep your spectrum clean.
The Bird SignalHawk RF Spectrum Analyzer with Angle of Arrival (AOA) technology gives RF technicians, field engineers, and military teams the ability to locate interference quickly—anywhere from 9 kHz to 6 GHz.

Why it’s powerful:

  • Triangulate with precision – Uses digital maps, Wi-Fi, GPS, and signal strength vectoring

  • Identify problem sources – In-band interferers, rogue transmitters, and coverage dead spots

  • Field-ready – Compact, rugged design for remote and demanding environments

  • Works with your gear – Pair with a directional antenna tuned to your frequency of interest

  • Efficient process – Three or more measurements pinpoint the exact source location

In today’s crowded spectrum, unwanted signals can degrade performance—or take a system offline. The SignalHawk AOA helps you detect, locate, and eliminate interference fast, so communications stay clear and reliable.
