About this app

RF Analyzer turns your Android device into a real-time spectrum analyzer for Software Defined Radio (SDR). Visualize and listen to radio signals around you - from amateur radio to broadcast signals and beyond.

Whether you're a curious beginner or a seasoned ham, RF Analyzer offers a hands-on, interactive way to explore radio signals.

- View live spectrum (FFT) and waterfall plots
- Demodulate AM, FM, SSB, and CW signals
- Record raw IQ samples for offline analysis
- A responsive and modern Material Design interface

PRICING

You can try all features for free within the 60 minutes test period (only actual analyzer usage counts - so enough time to test out all features with all your devices).

If you like it, a one-time in-app purchase unlocks the full version - no subscriptions, no accounts, no ads.

This app is a hobby project, built with passion and countless hours of work. Supporting the app helps me continue developing and improving it. Thank you! 🙏

Ratings and reviews

I'm going to assume that the only way to view RF data using a phone is going to be by using a dongle to capture it? I looked at this to see if there was a rf signal turning on lights in my house or if it was just a bad controller and thankfully, if I understand the tutorial correctly, I don't need to waste time looking at other apps because this is not within a phone's capability without external hardware. This app does look to be very capable though with the correct hardware.

Works for a few seconds then static. I downloaded the rtl-str driver and said it installed correctly. Then I downloaded RF analyzer. Set it up properly, but the only station I could get was 1 FM, and 1 WX. Everything else was static. And then it would only work for a few seconds and disconnect. I'm on a galaxy s21 ultra so it couldn't be the phone. I guess it's time to give up.

I don't usually buy apps for android, but this one is awesome and worth it. One thing I found out after further testing is that I cant enable the bias-T on my rtl-sdr V4. Oh, never mind that, you need to stop the dongle before turning it on.
