RF SIGNAL CAPTURE & I/Q DATA RECORDING

Obtain enhanced RF intelligence by recording signals of interest to support critical missions  

Overview

Effective RF signal analysis hinges on capturing and recording high-fidelity I/Q data. Operators can detect nuanced changes and unexpected transmissions by meticulously tracking and analyzing RF signals over time. This advanced capability is crucial for constructing detailed environmental profiles—such as patterns of life—critical for early warning systems and for maintaining an edge in dynamic operational environments. Real-time processing, including recording, exporting, and demodulating communications, equips operators with the tools to gain a strategic advantage. 

To dominate the spectrum, operators need a comprehensive toolkit capable of detecting and capturing signals and accurately geolocating them. This gives them a deeper understanding of the operational landscape, improving target identification and situational awareness. The benefits of around-the-clock recording and swift data streaming are integral to maintaining a continuous operational picture. Operators can amass a vast data archive through meticulous RF recording, offering unparalleled intelligence and strategic foresight in the electromagnetic domain. 

  • Capture & record up to 40GHz & 100MHz IBW
