Time Frequency Analyzer

The Time Frequency Analyzer (TFA) is an optional SE application which provides in-depth views of spectral activity for a fixed band over time. The TFA continuously acquires live data from the radio spectrum for signal intercept, detection and analysis. Multiple viewing perspectives allow complete observations of spectral variations over time.
