Accurate measurements


The OBSERVA Field Monitor captures comprehensive RF measurements presented in concise graphical displays, which can be recorded for detailed analysis. The device has several applications to suit the need of the operator:

Exceptional RF performance, delivering precise and reliable signal monitoring in even the most challenging radio frequency environments. Its high sensitivity and low noise characteristics make it a valuable tool for accurate signal analysis and quality assessment.
The Observa Field Monitor content verification capabilities are instrumental in maintaining data integrity and ensuring the accurate transmission of digital audio broadcasts. With its advanced algorithms and error-checking mechanisms, it reliably verifies the content, assuring broadcasters and audiences of high-quality, error-free DAB broadcasts.
Our monitoring system constantly tracks the signal strength to guarantee a robust and consistent broadcast. We analyse and report on error rates to identify potential issues and ensure minimal signal interruptions.
Our comprehensive transmitter synchronization checks are a vital component of our broadcasting quality assurance process. These checks ensure that the synchronization of multiple transmitters remains consistent and error-free, contributing to a seamless broadcasting experience for your audience.
Coverage planning is an integral aspect of our broadcasting strategy. It involves meticulous planning to ensure that our broadcast signals are delivered effectively and reliably across the designated service area. Including transmitter site selection, power allocation, and signal propagation analysis.
Our reception quality assessments involve continuous monitoring and analysis of the signal's strength and clarity, ensuring that it remains consistent across various receiving devices and locations. By focusing on reception quality, we strive to offer our audience an impeccable listening experience, free from distortions or interruptions, regardless of their choice of listening equipment or geographic location.
