| SpectraScopeRT is a Windows based spectrum analyzer application that requires no programming and allows for integrated operational control of both the downconverter receiver and the digitizer for signal capture, analysis, recordings. Any tuner, downconverter, or receiver with an IF output or a virtual receiver is supported.
SpectraScopeRT provides the ability to save established settings to a configuration file that can be opened and applied, thus saving time from manually re-applying settings for repetitive configurations. Analysis displays include Time Domain, Frequency Spectrum, Power Spectrum, Constellation, Spectrogram, Persistence, and Histogram. Multiple display type windows can be opened and shown simultaneously with auto tile and cascade options or manually sized and placed as desired. Display windows include support for scope cursors to navigate through the display and obtain measurements. Cursor Track Mode can be enabled to lock the position of the two placed cursors. When locked, the spacing between cursors remains constant as they are moved through the display of data. The primary advantage of SpectraScopeRT is the ability to conduct real-time streaming signal recordings to drive storage with provided monitoring capability to ensure the recording process is operating with expected signal data and without errors. The non-proprietary file format of the raw binary data file allows for other 3rd party software applications to import and utilize the data easily, with associated separate XML-based header files that contain the context information on the data file. Multiple systems running the SpectraScopeRT Server option can be accessed and operated as remote nodes with a single user interface over an Ethernet network with the Remote Client option. This is beneficial in cases where multiple systems, that may be dispersed in different locations, need to have acquisition and/or recording operations controlled without physical attendance at each system. A script editor can also be used in conjunction with script execute actions to design an automation sequence for targeted operations. |
SpectraViewRT is a Windows based application that allows an operator to open/view and conduct playback of previous signal recordings to the display monitor for analysis.
Viewing file details will display the details of the opened signal recording present in the header file associated with the recording data file for review. It includes basic information about the recording, applied digitizer model information, applied receiver model information, and settings utilized for the recording with total elapsed time duration of the recording file. The various display types for Time Domain, Frequency Domain, Spectrogram, Persistence, and Histogram can all be effectively utilized for playback operations. Playback operations utilize familiar navigation toolbar buttons for starting playback, stopping playback, stepping backwards and forwards, and moving back to start, and for playback looping when the time domain data will loop from the end of the file back to the beginning when the end of file is reached. SpectraViewRT provides an Export Split File feature to facilitate taking a large signal recording file and splitting it into smaller sized files for ease of manipulation and management. This feature is especially useful for transferring smaller data file sizes that contain only the data of particular interest for review, rather than the entire original large signal recording file size. The main recording file can be split into smaller files based on file size, recording duration, samples, or number of split files. Each segmented/split file contains a binary recording file as well as a corresponding header file that defines the content of the split file. |

RF Downconverter: A-27-Series DCA08G / DCA27G
These RF Downconverter models feature breakthrough input frequency and bandwidth coverage for their size. Its width and length are less than a sheet of paper, weighing only 2.7 kg / 6 lbs. and consuming only 19 to 25 W of power.
Two RF frequency ranges from 9 kHz to 8 GHz or 27 GHz are available with two optional bandwidth configurations that each supply three software selectable bandwidth modes: Zero IF (ZIF), Super-Heterodyne (SH), or Super-Heterodyne Narrow (SHN) :
| Bandwidth Mode | Option 1 Bandwidth | Option 2 Bandwidth |
| ZIF (Zero IF) |
100 MHz @ 0 Hz IF | 160 MHz @ 0 Hz IF |
| SH (Super-Heterodyne) |
40 MHz @ 35 MHz IF | 80 MHz @ 55 MHz IF |
| SHN (Super-Heterodyne Narrow) |
10 MHz @ 35 MHz IF | 10 MHz @ 35 MHz IF |
The ZIF, SH and SHN modes support a tuning resolution of 10 Hz. Digital frequency shifting is then used to enhance the tuning resolution to the nearest 1 Hz (±0.23 Hz) with an embedded Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO).
The Downconverter’s front-end processing blocks utilize up to 21 pre-select filters to mitigate input-related spurs and image responses and a pre-amplifier feature for the higher 27 GHz model:
| Downconverter Model | Pre-Select Filter Bank | Pre-Amplifier Feature |
| DCA08G (9 kHz to 8 GHz RF Input) |
9-Channel Switchable | No |
| DCA27G (9 kHz to 27 GHz RF Input) |
21-Channel Switchable | Yes |
User configurable sophisticated capture control combined with fast deep caching enables fast signal searches, sweeps, triggering and captures of only the signals of interest.
For wide bandwidth applications, the IF analog outputs can be externally digitized utilizing the Downconverter’s I and Q outputs.
Block Diagram and Bandwidth Mode Figures for A-27-Series: DCA08G / DCA27G
| Downconverter Bandwidth Modes | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Bandwidth Mode | Bandwidth Mode Description | Model Option Bandwidth | Bandwidth Figure |
| ZIF (Zero IF) |
In the widest bandwidth mode of operation, the downconverter is configured as a direct conversion receiver. In this mode the analog signal is present on both the I and Q outputs and each output is band-limited to 80 MHz. The final IF signal is centered at DC (0 Hz) and available on both the I and Q outputs. To process this signal, a dual-channel digitizer with a sampling rate of at least 200 MS/s to capture 100 MHz bandwidth or 250 MS/s to capture 160 MHz bandwidth is required. Direct conversion receivers typically have artifacts such as DC and IQ offsets. While DC offset correction is to a large extent managed within the hardware, IQ offsets must be corrected in software. API sample code is provided to accomplish this for custom developed software. SpectraScopeRT includes these software corrections without any required programming. | Option 1: 100 MHz @ 0 Hz IF |
 |
| Option 2: 160 MHz @ 0 Hz IF |
 |
||
| SH (Super-Heterodyne) | When the receiver is in super-heterodyne mode, the analog output is present on the I output only and the final IF signal is centered at either 35 MHz or 55 MHz. To process this signal, a single-channel digitizer with a sampling rate of at least 200 MS/s to capture 40 MHz bandwidth or 250 MS/s to capture 80 MHz bandwidth is required. | Option 1: 40 MHz @ 35 Hz IF |
 |
| Option 1: 80 MHz @ 55 Hz IF |
 |
||
| SHN (Super-Heterodyne Narrow) | When the receiver is in the narrower super-heterodyne mode, the analog output is present on the I output only and the final IF signal is centered at 35 MHz. The narrower bandwidth filter offers better rejection of adjacent signals and provides the best spurious performance of all available modes. To process this signal, a single-channel digitizer with a sampling rate of at least 100 MS/s to capture 10 MHz bandwidth is required. |
Option 1 & 2: 10 MHz @ 35 MHz IF |

*System storage capacity options vary by system form factor. Storage capacities shown in table are based on 2U options.
External Thunderbolt 3 Digitizers
For such wideband use cases, an external high-speed Digitizer is supplied within a Thunderbolt 3 PCIe expansion box that is connected to the controller host Thunderbolt port supporting the PCIe interface.
External multi-channel Digitizers with 16-bit A/D sampling rates up to 500 MS/s are available for use with the DCA08G or DCA27G Downconverter models. The large onboard FIFO memory of the external Digitizers allows for real-time streaming of I and Q baseband signals via PCI Express (PCIe) over the Thunderbolt 3 interface to the controller’s memory for post processing, display, and storage.
The 4-channel RazorMax Express models can support two downconverter receivers in baseband Zero IF mode (using both I & Q outputs) or four downconverter receivers in SuperHeterodyne or Super-Heterodyne Narrow mode (using I output only). 10 MHz reference inputs and outputs on both the digitizers and downconverter receivers provide a single frequency reference for synchronized system performance.
The spectrum analyzer software, SpectraScopeRT, requires no programming and allows for integrated operational control of both the downconverter receiver and the digitizer for signal capture, analysis, recordings.
