RF RFeye SenS Portable RF signal recorder from CRFS.

CRFS offers the system for capturing and reading RF signals up to 18 GHz

  • CRFS has developed the RFeye SenS system for the recording and playback of RF signals over a long period of time.
  • The portable receiver covers frequency ranges from 9kHz to 8GHz and 9kHz to 18GHz.

 
This compact and portable device designed for field use is particularly suitable for radio frequency spectrum monitoring applications in the fields of defence (intelligence, counter-surveillance and electronic warfare), telecommunications and other industrial sectors requiring the verification of RF signals operating in the vicinity of wireless communication equipment.

With an integrated RF receiver and up to 25.6 TB of on-board memory capacity, the RFeye SenS Portable can record up to 12 hours of uninterrupted data. It has an instantaneous bandwidth (IBW) of 100 MHz.

According to CRFS, this device is distinguished by the sensitivity of the receiver with low noise and phase levels and its high dynamic interference-free range (SFDR). This allows it to capture and differentiate between low power signals, remote signals or low amplitude signals masked by stronger signals.
