X-COM Systems, a manufacturer of products and software solutions for electronic warfare, interference analysis, wireless communications and spectrum management, has released the IQC5000A series RF spectrum capture and playback system, “the smallest, lightest, best-performing system available for the capture and playback of RF and microwave signals over short or long time spans for mission-critical applications.”
According to the company, the IQC5000A series “can record and play back one or two independent channels of RF signal activity up to 160 MHz in bandwidth captured at frequencies from HF through millimeter wavelengths. It operates from either 120/240 VAC or 12 VDC, making it equally suited for use in the field as well as bench top and laboratory environments.”
The IQC5000A series is capable of storing 500 gigabytes to 2 terabytes of signal capture data internally in removable solid-state drives, which provide “dual-channel storage between 22 minutes and 1.7 days depending on capture bandwidth.” When the system is configured using external storage up to 16 terabytes, “it can store from 2.7 hours to 14 days of signal activity. All times are doubled for single-channel operation.”
“The IQC5000A is an invaluable tool for use in defense applications such as signals intelligence (SIGINT), electronic intelligence (ELINT), and covert surveillance, as well as commercial and defense spectrum management, and radar and wireless system testing,” the company said in a statement.
