Multi-channel RF recorder

8 August 2012 Test & Measurement

Averna announced the availability of a field-ready, multi-channel RF recorder for applications covering 330 MHz to 2,5 GHz.

The RP-5300 is designed for both field testing and performance testing. With 50 MHz of recording bandwidth at 16 bits, it can record multiple GNSS signals in up to two bands (L1, L2, L5), such as GPS or GLONASS. Its compact size and integrated touch display make it well suited for field operation.

Wireless products need to perform well in the complicated and difficult-to-predict RF environments found in the real world. Simulators can bring the design up to a certain point in the development process, but an RF recorder captures all the multi-path, interference and general degradation of signals that end-users will experience.

Capturing the segment of spectrum of interest, from minutes to hours, allows a technician to return to the lab with data necessary to diagnose and solve the problem, while building a library of environments to harden their products for the future.

The RP-5300 comes preloaded with Averna’s RF Studio Recorder. RF Studio is workflow software for making RF recordings, managing collected data, and analysing or playing back collected RF environments.
