ICX-FieldHawk-U USB / Networked Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer

A compact, FPGA-based real-time spectrum analyzer family that balances RF performance, cost, and size. USB models connect over a single Type-C cable for both power and data; networked models add Gigabit Ethernet. Coverage runs from 9 kHz to 4.5, 6.3, 8.5, or 40 GHz depending on model, with up to 100 MHz of analysis bandwidth, sweep speed beyond 1 THz/s, and a unified API across the whole range.

ICX-FieldHawk-U USB real-time spectrum analyzer
Branding & verification notes. This Product Manual covers the Berkeley Nucleonics ICX-FieldHawk-U family of compact USB and networked real-time spectrum analyzers. The analysis software is SpecICX. Model designators in the specification tables are the manufacturer series codes carried through unchanged: SAN / SAM / SAE are the USB-connected models, and NXN / NXM / NXE are their Gigabit-Ethernet equivalents. All specification values, units, and tolerances are reproduced exactly from the source manual, with light reordering for readability only. Items to confirm, marked "verify": the BNC document and revision identifier against the source V1.0 / dc-51306202 (verify); the antenna part numbers under Options 34 and 35 if BNC assigns ANT-series codes such as ANT-100G (verify); and the SpecICX release build strings quoted under Test Conditions (verify they carry to BNC release builds).

1Overview

The ICX-FieldHawk-U family delivers excellent RF performance in a compact, integration-ready package while holding cost down. The instruments suit space- and cost-constrained applications, from automated test racks to distributed monitoring nodes. A single software environment, SpecICX (SAStudio4), drives the whole range, and one unified API spans every model.

Well-balanced performance, cost, and size

The SAN, SAM, NXN, and NXM products share a compact design that delivers strong RF performance while holding cost efficiency. Their miniaturization allows easy integration into automated test systems, preserving RF performance such as spectrum purity while reducing deployment and operational costs. That balance makes them particularly suited to space- and cost-constrained work.

USB and Ethernet ports

The SAN and SAM series feature USB connectivity supporting USB 3.0 and 2.0 interfaces. The NXN and NXM series offer Ethernet connectivity compatible with 1000M/100M networks.

A wide range of models

The SAN and NXN series focus on cost efficiency, with three frequency options: 4.5, 6.3, and 40 GHz. The SAM and NXM series prioritize performance, with 6.3 and 8.5 GHz options. The mix of interface types, frequency ranges, and cost points delivers an optimized choice for a wide variety of applications.

Unified API

All series and models use one consistent API, so hardware can migrate across the family with no code changes. The API supports C/C++, C#, Python, MATLAB, Qt, and LabVIEW on both Windows and Linux.

Rich standard measurement functions

A broad set of advanced measurements ships standard. They include channel power, occupied bandwidth, X dB bandwidth, harmonic measurement, SEM, AM and FM demodulation, and automatic phase noise analysis.

2Model Family

The family spans economy and performance tiers across four frequency points, with a USB model and an Ethernet model at each position. The diagram below maps every model to its interface, performance tier, and maximum frequency.

3Operating Modes

SpecICX offers seven main operating modes: Standard Spectrum Analysis, IQ Streaming, Power Detection Analysis, Real-time Spectrum Analysis, Phase Noise Measurement, Digital Demodulation (option), and Harmonics Analysis.

Standard Spectrum Analysis

This mode provides a wide range of measurement functions, including full-span spectrum sweep, channel power, OBW, ACPR, IM3, and SEM. It also supports spectrum recording and playback. Combined with auxiliary tools such as signal tracking, peak table, and amplitude correction, it delivers a one-stop platform for comprehensive spectrum checks.

Standard Spectrum Analysis mode in SpecICX
Figure 3-1. Standard Spectrum Analysis mode.

IQ Streaming

This mode supports up to 100 MHz of analysis bandwidth and allows IQ data acquisition through multiple trigger methods. It provides IQ time-domain waveform display, spectrum and spectrogram views, AM and FM demodulation, and digital down conversion (DDC).

IQ Streaming mode in SpecICX
Figure 3-2. IQ Streaming mode.

Power Detection Analysis

This mode enables detection and analysis of time-domain signals within the analysis bandwidth. It suits applications focused on in-band power-versus-time relationships, such as pulse signal measurements.

Power Detection Analysis mode in SpecICX
Figure 3-3. Power Detection Analysis mode.

Real-time Spectrum Analysis

This mode is powered by a high-speed FPGA-based FFT engine. It features strictly gapless and overlap-free FFT, achieving true real-time monitoring across the full bandwidth.

Digital Demodulation (option)

This mode supports 2ASK, 2FSK, 4FSK, GMSK, BPSK, QPSK, 8PSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, 128QAM, and 256QAM signals.

Harmonics Analysis

This mode supports detection and measurement of up to 10 harmonic components, including harmonic peaks, harmonic channel power, and total harmonic distortion.

Phase Noise Measurement

This mode supports offset ranges from 1 Hz to 10 MHz for evaluating carrier phase stability. A built-in automatic carrier search function locates the target carrier quickly, with no manual adjustment.
