Abstract
A method and apparatus for remote spectrum analysis is disclosed. A channel measurement device is configured to receive and measure the radio spectrum in a geographic location during a measurement phase of operation. A microprocessor processes the signals and stores processed data on a storage device. The channel measurement device contains a communications interface to a land line telephone network and/or a cellular telephone network. During a data transfer phase of operation, the channel measurement device sends the processed data to a remote processor via the land line or cellular telephone network. In addition, the remote processor may act as a remote user interface to control the operation of the channel measurement device. In particular, the remote processor may be used to store values for user programmable configuration parameters in a memory of the channel measurement device via the land line or cellular telephone network. In one embodiment, the cellular telephone network interface may include the components necessary for communicating directly with the cellular telephone network. In another embodiment, the cellular telephone network interface is capable of connecting to a …
