Octo-Ark 8 channel superheterodyne receiver

Description

The Octo-Ark is an 8 channel superheterodyne receiver that offers incredibly wide dynamic range and ultra accurate phase synchronization.

The RF signal chain features preampilifiers, preselectors, attenuators, and two mixer stages for excellent selectivity and spurious performance. The receiver is tunable from 10 MHz – 6 GHz and has 80 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth per channel, providing the versatility necessary to analyze a variety of signals in multiple bands of interest.

Users can tune the eight channels independently to simultaneously monitor uplink and downlink communication with a combined bandwidth of 160 MHz.

The receiver is capable of fast frequency hopping to detect frequency agile emitters.

With the RF Network Chipsets FPGA development framework, users can seamlessly off load compute intensive components of their application from host to FPGA for hardware acceleration and real-time performance.
