GenHawk

Handheld RF Signal Generator

The GenHawk™ GH-60 allows truly portable RF signal generation from 10 MHz to 6 GHz, (optionally 300 kHz to 6.5 GHz). Included Continuous Wave (CW) output allows for simple test signals for antennas or RF systems while modulations easily replicate communication standards and real-world spectra so you can be assured of your device or system performance. 

Field Ready.
Lab Accurate.

GenHawk is a versatile generator for testing in applications like receiver sensitivity, noise immunity, interference immunity, and more. With a base frequency range up to 6 GHz and 20 MHz modulation bandwidth (optionally 100 MHz), GenHawk supports emulating fundamental modulations like AM/FM and QPSK, as well as common standards like 5G, FDD/TDD-LTE, and LoRa.

Wide Dynamic Range

+15 dBm output power with a 145 dBm dynamic range allows you to emit signals over-the-air, or replicate weak reception.

Truly Portable

GenHawk uses the same durable handheld form factor as Bird's SiteHawk and SignalHawk families of Cable & Antenna Analyzers and Spectrum Analyzers.

Additive Noise/Pulse

Additive Signal options allow easy overlay of customizable noise to your signals for immunity testing.

Is GenHawk Right for You?

GenHawk is a powerful and flexible tool, and we want to make sure you get what you need.

GenHawk is ideal for...

  • Creating realistic, complex RF signals over-the-air with an antenna or direct through coax
  • Testing interference/noise immunity for cellular, IoT, and digital standards
  • Replicating Cellular uplink or downlink signals in testing

GenHawk isn't designed for...

  • Non-RF generation like an AFG or AWG
  • Calibration-grade signal generation
  • Outputting unsupported modulations like P25 or TETRA

Own a GenHawk?

Bird Service recommends calibrating your GenHawk at least once every year. Calibration verifies performance is meeting specifications and ensures your unit is working properly.
