AVCOM of Virginia is a vertically integrated company with over 20
years of experience in designing and manufacturing high quality, low
cost spectrum analyzers.
Founded in 1976, AVCOM initially
targeted the satellite receiver industry with its PSR-3 Satellite
Receiver. This product differentiated itself from the competition
with its unique “Scan-Tune” functionality which allowed the receiver
to be tuned back and forth across all transponders once every 3
seconds.
AVCOM continued to develop and produce a variety of
receivers and satellite accessories throughout the early 1980’s.
Their catalog included products such as power dividers, 60dB
isolators, DC blocks, low loss microwave cable assemblies as well as
other more sophisticated products such as the PTR-24 test receiver,
the TISH-40 terrestrial interference survey horn and the WCA-4
waveguide adapter.
It’s the Scan-Tune functionality
developed for the satellite receiver industry that set the stage for
the first AVCOM spectrum analyzer product. In 1985, AVCOM developed
a unique low-cost spectrum analyzer modeled after their high-end
competitors, but without the extreme performance and much more
affordable. The PSA-35 Spectrum Analyzer was introduced to the
market at the 1986 Satellite Show in Las Vegas. Since then, AVCOM
has continued to expand their product portfolio with remote,
rack-mounted and portable spectrum analyzer solutions.
AVCOM's ability to generate unusual design solutions repeated itself
many times over the history of AVCOM and lead to several patents.
It’s this resourcefulness that has allowed AVCOM to remain a market
leader in providing affordable spectrum analyzer solutions to
customers and markets worldwide.
