Next generation of high performance receivers with proven RF performance

IZT GmbH has expanded its powerful RF receiver family introducing the IZT R5000. The next generation of high performance receivers combines up to 100MHz instantaneous bandwidth with the proven excellent RF performance of the legacy IZT receivers. The device covers the frequency range between 9kHz and 18GHz. Received signals will be available as high resolution spectrum data in combination with up to four configurable wideband I/Q data channels with user configurable sample rates and independent centre frequencies. The wideband channels provide I/Q data between 5MHz and 100MHz bandwidth. Additional 32 channels with up to 4MHz bandwidth each can be used for narrowband monitoring, demodulation or analysis functionality in software. A dual 10Gbit optical interface ensures adequate throughput in all operational scenarios. The device gives system integrators direct access to the control and data interfaces, where the received RF signals will be available both in IQ and PSD format. When combined with the IZT Signal Suite Software, the new RF receiver also supports the company’s patented technique for frequency selective and dynamic recording of active portions of the spectrum. This feature results in a substantial reduction of required storage space. "This new family of receivers uses latest digital signal processing technologies on a compact and robust hardware platform. This puts IZT in a leading position to address demanding applications, for example airborne direction finders or unattended outdoor nodes for spectrum monitoring or Time-Difference-Of-Arrival location finding" stated Rainer Perthold, CEO of IZT. The device can be configured for TDOA (Time-Difference-Of-Arrival) and DF (Direction Finding) applications. Like the R3000, the series will be available in various configurations and mechanical form factors ranging from rack-based, single channel indoor applications to multi-channel direction finding receivers for outdoor or airborne applications.
