Wide Instantaneous Bandwidth Digital Receivers Revolutionize RF Spectrum Monitoring Architectures
Today’s radio frequency (RF) environment is increasingly crowded and complex as both commercial and military systems exploit an ever-expanding amount of the spectrum with waveforms including pulsed, continuous wave (CW), spread spectrum, frequency agile, frequency modulated (FM), amplitude modulated (AM), and phase modulated (PM). The requirement to provide high probability of intercept (POI) systems that can rapidly and accurately detect and identify threats and/or signals of interest masked by signal clutter typical of population-dense urban areas necessitates the use of receiver architectures with wide instantaneous bandwidth (IBW), high dynamic range, immunity to measurement errors resulting from multiple simultaneous signals, significant digitization speeds, and real-time processing capable of signal detection and parameter extraction.
