The Rohde & Schwarz EVSG1000 is a portable, high-precision analyzer for commissioning and servicing ground-based air navigation and communication systems. It delivers comprehensive analysis across ILS, GBAS, VOR, Marker Beacon, and ATC COM signals with field-hardened design and battery operation. The instrument adheres to ICAO standards (Document 8071, Annex 10) and combines low phase noise, exceptional dynamic range exceeding 130 dB, and measurement speeds up to 100 data records/s.
