What it is

The TinySA is a line of portable, low-cost spectrum analyzers. A spectrum analyzer is an instrument that shows, on a screen, which frequencies are occupied by signals and how strong they are. The TinySA Ultra model has a 4-inch screen, measures from 100 kHz to 5.3 GHz (up to 6 GHz in extended mode) and records measurements on a memory card.

In TECER

It was part of the SDR kit from the planning stage (see Phase 1 (BOLT): the project and the setting) and was used for spectrum mapping in the UFPA/LASSE laboratory, to identify occupied TVWS channels and possible sources of interference.
