Kathrein Signal Analyser I Introduction

Advanced digital signal processing algorithmsKathrein Signal Analyser strictly follows the concept of SDR (Software Defined Radio). The input with high quality I/Q-data comes from a suitable test receiver. Demodulation, channel decoding and mea surement of all relevant parameters, as well as gene ration of statistics and graphics, are performed by the Kathrein Signal Analyser software. Advanced digital signal processing algorithms allow robust and precise measurements, both in stationary and mobile environments.

Optimised for mobile useThe concept of software-defined radio provides maximum flexibility and allows measurement of multiple technolo-gies with one hardware setup. Together with flexible post-processing software and a user-friendly interface, radio frequency (RF) and quality of service (QoS) measurements can be carried out quickly and seamlessly for every technology.

Among other clients, Norddeut-scher Rundfunk NDR has successfully implemented the system; the picture shows NDR Broadcast tower “Stein-kimmen” near Bremen.

Export functionCreate TAB separated files to visualise the measurement with all parameters individually. Import them into any geo-graphic information system (GIS) such as MapInfo, ArcView or even GoogleEarth.

Optional: Replay softwareAfter performing the measurements, measured data can be replayed and analysed in detail with the Replay software option. Measurement data are displayed on a topographic map and in trace charts. Spectrum, constellation, channel impulse response and many more parameters can be inves-tigated in detail.

MeasureAll listed broadcast technologies can be measured in parallel with one hardware. The measurement system is suitable for mobile, as well as stationary and long-term measure-ments. The powerful channel-scans give a fast overview over the band. Radiation pattern and height profile can be recorded. Many other analysis features are included.
