About Us

AVCOM of Virginia is a vertically integrated company with over 25 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.
