Each channel on the PCR4200 may be configured as a phase coherent channel using the high-performance shared local oscillator (LO), or independently tuned using that channel’s dedicated LO. Additionally, any single channel may be configured to provide swept spectrum data at up to 200 GHz/s. Other features include a built-in 30 MHz to 20 GHz vector signal generator to simplify system alignment and calibration, and an internal GPS to provide precise time, frequency, and location.

Features:

• Frequency range 100 kHz to 20 Ghz
• Streams 40 MHz bandwidth per channel over 10 GbE SFP+
• Built-in sub-octave preselectors from 45 MHz to 20 GHz
• Noise figure: 10 dB typical at 2 GHz
• Calibrated I/Q data
• Ultra-low phase noise: -136 dBc/Hz 10 kHz offset from 1 GHz center frequency
• Internal GPS
• 110 dB dynamic range
• Independent channel configuration
• Up to 16 phase coherent channels

Applications:

• Simultaneous multi-band spectrum monitoring
• Emitter detection and geolocation
• Multi-channel transmitter testing
• SIGINT/COMINT/ELINT
• Drone detection
• MIMO channel testing

The PCR4200 excels at multi-channel, wide-band, simultaneous monitoring applications. It utilizes exceptionally fast sweep speeds, outstanding dynamic range and ultra-low phase noise to ensure sweeps, data and accuracy are all of the highest quality. Independent channel configuration enables flexibility in diverse signal environments. Reliability, accuracy and a portable form factor make the PCR4200 well suited to multi-channel receiver needs across a diverse range of scenarios.
