A new type of spectrum analyzer using RF interferometry is presented. The stationary wave integrated Fourier transform spectrometer is dedicated to the measurement of transient wideband signals. The spectrometer is mobile and cheap. It consists of spatial samplers placed along a waveguide ended by a short circuit. The standing wave caused by the short circuit is sampled and the spectrum is obtained by an FFT computation. A 0.3–5 GHz analyzer was built as a proof-of-principle demonstration and an application to RF dosimetry is shown.
