UTS7000A Interceptor-Series Signal Analyzer — Buyer's Guide
Which Interceptor Is Right for You?
The UTS7000A delivers professional-grade signal analysis from 2 Hz to 40 GHz with real-time spectrum analysis, 100% Probability of Intercept (POI), and -167 dBm/Hz sensitivity. Every model shares the same core engine, display, and build quality. The differences: how high in frequency and how wide a real-time bandwidth you need.
What Every Model Shares
Measurement quality is identical across all models. You're choosing frequency range and real-time bandwidth.
Decision 1: Choose Your Frequency Range
All models start at 2 Hz — you're choosing the upper limit. Pick the lowest that covers your needs.
Frequency Quick-Reference
| Application | Key Frequencies | Min. Model |
|---|---|---|
| Power electronics / motor drives | 2 Hz – 100 MHz | UTS7013A |
| EMC pre-compliance (CISPR, FCC) | 9 kHz – 6 GHz | UTS7013A |
| Wi-Fi 6/6E, Bluetooth, IoT | 2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz | UTS7013A |
| 5G NR sub-6 (n77/n78/n79) | 3.3 – 5 GHz | UTS7013A |
| Ku-band satellite | 10.7 – 12.75 GHz | UTS7013A |
| 24 GHz automotive radar | 24.0 – 24.25 GHz | UTS7026A |
| K-band satellite / backhaul | 18 – 26.5 GHz | UTS7026A |
| 5G mmWave n257/n258 | 26.5 – 29.5 GHz | UTS7032A |
| Ka-band satellite uplinks | 27.5 – 31 GHz | UTS7032A |
| 5G mmWave n260 (39 GHz) | 37 – 40 GHz | UTS7040A |
| 77–81 GHz radar (sub-harmonic) | 38.5 – 40.5 GHz | UTS7040A |
| Q-band satellite | 33 – 40 GHz | UTS7040A |
Tip: Frequency range cannot be upgraded after purchase. If needs may grow, step up one model.
Decision 2: Standard or Narrowband?
Standard (Upgradeable)
Ships with 40 MHz RTSA bandwidth. Upgradeable to 85, 160, or 255 MHz via options B85/B160/B255.
Choose if you work with wideband signals (Wi-Fi 80/160 MHz, 5G NR >20 MHz, wideband radar, multi-carrier satellite) or want future upgrade flexibility.
Narrowband (-NB)
Fixed at 20 MHz RTSA bandwidth. Cannot be upgraded.
Choose if you primarily work with narrowband signals (single LTE ≤20 MHz, IoT channels, CW, component test, EMC pre-compliance) and want a lower initial investment.
Bandwidth Options (Standard Models Only)
| Option | BW | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 40 MHz | Wi-Fi 20/40 MHz, LTE ≤20 MHz, IoT, EMC |
| B85 | 85 MHz | Wi-Fi 80 MHz, 5G carrier aggregation, FMCW radar |
| B160 | 160 MHz | Wi-Fi 6E 160 MHz, wideband 5G NR, satellite transponders |
| B255 | 255 MHz | Maximum capture, multi-carrier, widest 5G NR |
Important: -NB models cannot be upgraded. If wider bandwidth is possible in the future, start with a standard model.

Power Electronics
2 Hz starting frequency analyzes switching harmonics, motor drive emissions, and inverter performance from fundamental through high-order harmonics. Narrowband is typically sufficient.
General RF Lab / Education
UTS7013A (standard)
Most versatile entry: 2 Hz to 13.6 GHz, 40 MHz RTSA, upgradeable bandwidth. Add software options as needs evolve.
Why Choose the Interceptor-Series?
2 Hz Starting Frequency
Most analyzers start at 9 kHz. The UTS7000A starts at 2 Hz — enabling power electronics analysis and complete system characterization from DC through RF in one instrument.
100% Probability of Intercept
Every model guarantees 100% POI. Transient interference, frequency-hopping signals, and intermittent emissions are captured with certainty. Critical for EMC and wireless debug.
Professional Sensitivity
-167 dBm/Hz DANL matches or exceeds premium-brand analyzers — enabling weak signal detection and spurious emission hunting without a premium price.
5-Year Warranty
Parts, labor, and return shipping for 5 years — two years longer than industry standard. No registration or extended warranty purchase required.
FAQ
Can I upgrade frequency range after purchase?
No. Frequency is hardware-determined and fixed. If uncertain, select the next higher model.
Can I upgrade bandwidth on a -NB model?
No. -NB models have fixed 20 MHz architecture. Choose a standard model to preserve the upgrade path to 85/160/255 MHz.
Can software options be added later?
Yes. All software options can be added any time through licensing.
What OS does the UTS7000A run?
Ubuntu Linux standard; Windows 10 optional. Both support SCPI remote control over LAN and USB.
Suitable for automated test systems?
Yes. Full SCPI remote programming over LAN (GigE), USB 3.0, and optional GPIB.
Purchasing restrictions?
No restrictions for commercial applications. Defense/aerospace contractors on classified programs may have separate procurement requirements.
What's in the 5-year warranty?
Parts, labor, and return shipping. Standard on every unit — no registration required.
