Wideband Digital Recorder

  • Acquisition of 70MHz , bandwidth ± 20MHz ( in phased manner) .
  • Digitize and record the complex data.
  • Dynamic range is 70 dB. Recording range is 0dBm to -70dBm.
  • Extensive recording duration of four hours at 40MHz bandwidth.
  • Analog Replay of the recorded signal at 70MHz IF.
  • Digital Replay FFT of the recorded signal displayed on remote controller.
  • Output signal level is 0 dBm to -70dBm.
  • Transfer the recoded data to any remote PC through LAN.
  • Adaptive sample rate selection with bandwidth opted.
  • Auto file-name generation with task details and time stamp.
  • Text annotation with the recording file.
  • Time sync with IRIG-B Time code.
  • Over write facility when recording media is filled up.
  • Loop back facility.
  • Remote controllability.
  • Backup facility and Deletion of selected file/files.

Wide Band Digital Recorder performs Recording and Replay of the intercepted signals at 70MHz IF with maximum bandwidth of ±20MHz. Recorded Data is stored in Solid State Disks housed in Rugged Disk Crate. WBDR system is built with 3U VPX COTS modules in 19” Rack mountable chassis. System is controlled though Gigabit Ethernet LAN. Replay feature of WBDR enables analog reconstruction of the recorded signal back to the 70MHz IF. System is made user friendly by providing sophisticated remote controllability.
