Make sense of the spectrum

Stay ahead of the curve as spectrum evolves and methods of monitoring adapt to new technologies and changes to the policies that govern its use.

Why Spectriqx?

Sometimes you need a partner to come alongside with opinions, support, advice, or ideas on how to make sense of your spectrum, manage it, understand changes, establish requirements, or specify equipment. 

Spectriqx was established to do just that – train, consult, and advise on selecting, using, and deploying hardware and software tools that offer insight into the spectrum. 

I.C. Tillman established Spectriqx to continue offering his experience in the areas of spectrum monitoring, signals analysis, emitter location, RF test, and measurement to interested companies and individuals. 

He is also offering management consulting services based on timeless principles learned at the Hewlett Packard Company.

He uses a friendly and personal approach to ensure every interaction is not just productive, but enjoyable as well.

Spectriqx: Anatomy of the name

I.C.’s decades of prominent experience in spectrum management and technology in general can empower a holistic approach to your specific questions. It is that many-faceted experience that led to the name Spectriqx.

1

Spectrum is built on the use and manipulation of sine waves to carry all kinds of information.

2

Hash marks represent scales commonly used on test equipment to show the rise and fall of measured data.

3

“IQ” means in-phase and quadrature components that correspond to an RF signal's real and imaginary parts. Recorded IQ data has all the information contained in the original signal – the keys to the kingdom.  Using the right tools, much can be learned from this data form.

4

“X” is the elusive variable that must be solved. It represents your challenges, questions, and uncertainties that we can solve together.
