Portable and rugged spectrum monitoring

The RFeye Node from CRFS is a portable and rugged high-performance RF sensor for real-time 24/7 spectrum monitoring and geolocation of transmitters.

Communication signals evolve as new demands, applications, and wireless standards emerge. The wider bandwidth, highly complex, and low-power signal characteristics are more challenging to find, identify, and geolocate. RFeye Nodes from CRFS are state-of-the-art superheterodyne receivers designed to support military and commercial applications without location, physical, or infrastructure constraints.

The company’s fourth-generation high-performance RF sensor has in-built edge processing that reduces the bandwidth of backhaul data. Excellent phase noise, low noise figure, and superb spurious free dynamic range, coupled with FPGA technology and card design, enable easy integration and exploitation of the SDR and computer platform. Multiple users have multi-mission capability, and can efficiently manage EMSO operations with a single Node, or seamlessly interact with a network of Nodes.

The RFeye provides 100 MHz IBW wideband frequency monitoring. The module is compatible with multiple GNSS signals including GPS, BeiDou, GALILEO, and GLONASS. With its ability to find and locate low-power signals, the units are unmatched at detecting signals with a low-probability-of-intercept.

These units provide for a flexible deployment, and can be utilized in rugged indoor or outdoor RF applications for fixed, temporary, or mobile platforms.
