AirMagnet Spectrum XT provides full visibility into the Wi-Fi radio frequency spectrum and is designed to simplify the process of detecting, identifying, and locating sources of interference.
Menu
Proactively identify and locate any radio frequency (RF) interference source impacting Wi-Fi network performance.
Simplify interference troubleshooting by eliminating the need to interpret squiggly lines or manually match classification patterns.
Locate any Wi-Fi or non-Wi-Fi interference sources operating in the RF environment with the built-in device locator tool.
Prioritize Wi-Fi interference troubleshooting activities and reduce time to locate and fix wireless network issues.
Secure the Wi-Fi network by inspecting No Wireless Zones and detecting intentional RF interference sources such as RF jammers.
Trying to pinpoint the source of Wi-Fi interference on a wireless network is hit or miss with the wrong tools. AirMagnet Spectrum XT is a Wi-Fi spectrum analyzer that offers a combined view of impact analysis of RF interference on the wireless network’s overall performance. This versatile solution is available in a universal USB form factor, and works on any Microsoft Windows notebook, netbook or tablet PC.
Create a recording of your session and replay it at any time. Allows you to jump in time to specific events.
Benefits: Interference can happen randomly throughout the day. Simplify the process of capturing interference events by monitoring a problem area and recording the capture. Come back later and do your analysis at any time.
AirMagnet Spectrum XT offers real-time detection and identification of non-Wi-Fi interference sources that lower the performance of wireless networks. The extensive device source list includes Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, microwave ovens, wireless game controllers, digital video converters, baby monitors, RF Jammers, radar, motion detectors, ZigBee devices, and more.
The Spectrum XT also provides detailed information for non-Wi-Fi interference sources that allow the user to decide which interferer device is causing the most problems, and with an additional Bluetooth adapter plugged into the same PC, the analyzer provides ID, name, services, etc. for enhanced interferer analysis.
With the built-in “device locator tool,” users can locate any interference sources operating in the RF environment. Operating like a Geiger counter, the tool beeps louder as users get closer to the location of the device.
AirMagnet Survey PRO users running AirMagnet Spectrum XT on the same machine can perform RF Spectrum Surveys or sweeps at the same time as a passive or active site survey, reducing the walk-around time. This information helps users plan the channel settings for the current and planned WLAN infrastructure. Users also get the list of RF interference sources detected by AirMagnet Spectrum XT within AirMagnet Survey.
With this integration, spectrum analyzer users gain access to unique heat maps within the AirMagnet Survey such as:
– Channel power heat map
– Interferer power/location heat map
AirMagnet Spectrum XT’s integrated report engine makes it easy to turn RF Spectrum analysis sessions into professional reports. Customization features allow the Wi-Fi Spectrum Analyzer to generate reports on all the information collected for the current environment. With the wireless spectrum analyzer, reports can be exported in Word, RTF, PDF, or HTML formats for handoff.
AirMagnet Spectrum XT includes an automated spectrum analysis capability that monitors the RF environment looking for unique and repeating RF interference patterns from “unknown RF interference sources.” Once the pattern of interest is detected and classified, users have the option of creating a customized signature for future alerting.
This wireless spectrum analysis capability provides users with a “zero-day” response to any interference source.This allows the user to have a faster response when troubleshooting performance problems in their network.

RF Spectrum Analysis (mandatory wireless adapter required to run Spectrum XT)
AirMagnet Spectrum XT Adapter (USB form factor). An omni-directional antenna is included in the package.
Additional Wi-Fi Analysis (Requires optional AirMagnet-supported Wi-Fi adapter)
AirMagnet Spectrum XT offers additional Wi-Fi analysis features in addition to the spectrum features supported by the AirMagnet Spectrum USB adapter. This does NOT remove the requirement for an AirMagnet Spectrum USB adapter, without which the Spectrum XT software will not work.
AirMagnet supports the following wireless adapters for additional analysis:
1. Preferred adapters: Adapters that have been comprehensively tested by AirMagnet and are recommended for use with the AirMagnet products. Click here to learn more.
Additional Bluetooth Analysis
AirMagnet Spectrum XT offers enhanced Bluetooth interferer information using an optional Windows-compatible Bluetooth adapter. The enhanced information includes details on the name, ID, services, etc. for Bluetooth devices. Users can either use the Bluetooth adapter that is built into their PC or can use an external adapter.
AirMagnet Directional Antenna (Optional)
The AirMagnet Directional Antenna will enhance the RF detection and capabilities of AirMagnet Spectrum XT in a single direction helping narrow down the search pattern far more effectively. It is small, light and portable.
