Direct Sampling LAN Receiver Family - Frequency Range from 9 kHz to 3600 MHz

Meeting the challenge of the modern HF & V/UHF signals scenario, the GRX-LAN receiver series utilizes the latest technology to achieve outstanding receiver performance.

High dynamic range circuitry, with Digital Signal Processing and sophisticated man-machine interface graphics combine in a cutting edge SDR solution for modern HF & V/UHF ESM monitoring requirements.

Compliance to ITU-Recommendations

  • Frequency measurements (ITU-R SM.377-3)
  • Field strength measurements (ITU-R SM.378-7)
  • Modulation depth and frequency deviation measurements (ITU-R SM.328-11)
  • Occupied bandwidth measurements (ITU-R SM.443-3)
  • Spectrum occupancy measurements (ITU-R SM.182-5)

Key Features

  • Frequency Range 9kHz to 3600MHz
  • Multiple receiver channels in one unit:
  • GRX-LAN LH: 1 – 2 L/HF channels
  • GRX-LAN LU: 1 L/H/V/UHF channel
  • Small Desktop design
  • Digital Signal pre-processing for optimum adaptation to receiving and signal conditions
  • Excellent large signal behaviour i.e. low levels of intermodulation and cross-modulation
  • Wide dynamic range for applications in different electromagnetic scenarios
  • Highly accurate and fully reproducible filter characteristics
  • Direct sampling (no mixers) employed in HF section
  • Excellent Phase Noise especially in the HF section - limited only by clock’s phase noise
  • Phase coherent and sample synchronizing control
  • Up to 1MHz wide IF stream via LAN as output for signal processing / recording /data decoding
  • Interfaces: Ethernet LAN for remote control and IF streaming; SPI interface for control of different external options
  • Multi-level BITE feature for effective diagnostics to module level
  • Modular construction for flexibility and efficient maintenance

Software Information

The Operator User Interface allows easy and intuitive use for both manual and automated tasking. Manual tasks are simplified by high quality graphics to take advantage of the versatile and feature rich equipment. (See www.grxlan.co.za for more detail)

Expansion Options

The optional MRR Equipment Server (EQS) with Receiver control software is able to perform the following on the output IF stream with the optional MRR EQS or Signal Analysis software:

  • Digital demodulation via DDCs
  • Digital audio/IF streaming via the LAN
  • Recording of digital audio/IF
  • Spectrum scanning

System Applications

The GRX-LAN Multi-channel HF & V/UHF Monitoring Receivers provide an excellent and versatile solution in host systems where multiple channels need to be monitored and demodulated. This is possible for up to a total of 2 channels in HF and 1 channel in V/UHF.

Integration with larger networks

The GRX-LAN provides excellent extension options of monitoring channels when integrated with the Skylark7050C product in larger system configurations.
