8 TEST TOOLS FOR LAB & FIELD | RF CAPTURE/PLAYBACK & GENERATE • Chipset, STB/TV field test debugging (a great tool to support your pre-sales team) • Easy & simple usage: no need for RF experts to capture field RF signals (ex: DAB/FM, TV broadcast, Satellite broadcast, Wi-Fi,…), your sales force can do it for you anywhere in the world • Handy demonstration setup: bring real RF sources into your laptop • RF sources stored on a PC: easy to duplicate/transfer between head- quarter and regional sites • Radio/TV Broadcast/Telecom RF troubleshooting • Test automation (command line tools) • Telecommunications Regulation Agencies validation tool RF-CATCHER STARTER KIT Covering a frequency range from 70 MHz up to 6 GHz, RF-Catcher can record and play real-time RF bandwidth up to 55 MHz. RF-Catcher allows experimentation of a wide range of signals including Radio (FM, DAB…), TV broadcast (DVB-T/T2, C/C2, ISDB-T, etc…), cellular, Wi-Fi, up to satellite signals (DVB-S/S2). The RF-Catcher is equipped with LNB control for frequency down conversion of Ku/C bands. The integrated GNSS receiver provides precise location information; KML file, metadata, NMEA compatible. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS 2x RF inputs, 2x RF outputs for RF Capture & Playback (SMA/F connectors)* Frequency range from 70 MHz up to 6 GHz, resolution 1kHz Variable bandwidth from 1 up to 55 MHz Automatic filtering: harmonic suppression for playback, out of band signal suppression for capture RF reception: • Status indicators: USB connection / IQ sample loss / In band saturation (ADC) / Out of band saturation (LNA) • FFT display: Spectrum measurements: FFT resolution, FFT markers insertion / Averaging functions: RMS, min/max hold / FFT window functions: rectangular, Hamming, Blackman, Hann… • Signal waterfall plot (three-dimensional spectrum) • Power in band measurement per frequency marker RF capture: variable gain, automatic gain setting (AGC), rolling buffer mode RF playback: variable attenuation Lightweight and compact 163 x 115 x 32 mm, 600 g, 3 W typical power consumption Connected to PC via USB3.0 connectivity (SuperSpeed) (USB2 backward compatible, but with lower performances due to limited USB2 bitrate) IQ files stored on the PC: 12 Msps sample rate, 170 min of record = 512GB Nonproprietary IQ file format, compatible with Matlab software Integrated GNSS (GPS, GLONASS) receiver: KML file, metadata, NMEA protocol Compatible Windows 7, 8/8.1, 10 (x64 versions only) APPLICATIONS *Both input/output connectors cannot be used at the same time USB SELF-POWERED &LOWPOWER(3W) LIGHTWEIGHT (600g) The RF-Catcher is compact, robust, lightweight (600g) and cost- effective: your technicians and engineers can bring it everywhere in their hand bag.
