Collection and Analysis Receivers

The DRX-5571 is the latest addition to Cobham's product line of high-performance microwave set-on receivers. The proven RF to IF performance of the SMR-5500 series receivers is combined with an FPGA-based demodulation and radio demultiplexing capability. This allows the receiver to fully process microwave signals having complex modulation and encoding schemes down to the underlying radio payload. Thus the DRX-5571 provides a completely integrated system solution for performing capture, analysis, survey, and collection of wideband digital radio RF signals.

Cobham's new SMR-5550-XXA fills the need for a low cost, high performance microwave receiver. The receiver has all the necessary features for reception of complex order, high data rate PCM/TDM and high capacity FM/FDM communication signals. Through the use of new low-cost commercial components and high volume receiver production, Cobham's SMR-5550 sets a standard for performance-to-cost value in microwave receiving equipment.

The SMR-5800 is an extended tuning range version of the SMR-5550i and tunes 0.5-40 GHz, continuously. The additional frequency extension components and the receiver are contained in the same 1U high enclosure as is used for the SMR-5550i All other specifications are identical to the SMR-5550i. This receiver eliminates the need for an external frequency extender and its added power and cabling requirements.

The SMR-5550i-27 RF Tuner and the SMR-5550i-30 LO Distribution Source comprise an eight channel, phase coherent system suitable for very accurate time of arrival (TOA) applications. Based on the extremely reliable SMR-5550i receiver tuner and oscillator sections, this system uses proven receiver technology to insure optimum performance.
