AR2300
Black-Box Receiver
HIGH PERFORMANCE BLACK-BOX RECEIVER
Radio monitoring from 40kHz to 3150MHz
AOR, LTD.
The future of radio monitoring.
The AR2300 communications receiver from AOR is ideally suited
for radio and spectrum monitoring in various commercial and
government applications, as well as for use in radio investigation
services.
The AR2300 offers:
Signal detection
Signal search in frequency and memory scan mode
Spectrum occupancy and on-the-air monitoring
Coverage and field-strength check
Signal and spectrum analysis through optional I/Q software
Applications may include:
Monitoring and storage of up to 2000 frequencies, receiving
modes, antenna port, attenuator settings, constant monitoring of
one frequency or scanning of selected frequencies.
Searching a frequency range with freely selectable start and
stop frequencies and step widths of 0.01 kHz (10Hz) to 999.99
kHz.
Detection of undesired emissions including pulsed emissions.
Detection of unlicensed transmitters communicating illegally or
interfering with licensed transmission.
Protection against eavesdropping by detecting miniature
transmitters (bugs)
Monitoring of one's own radio transmissions in a service band
and monitoring of selected transmissions.
Remote-controlled operation via an optional LAN controller.
Technical Features:
Computer controlled Black-Box
All functions of the AR2300 can be used with a lap-top or desktop PC that runs under Windows XP or higher OS. The
AR2300 can be controlled remotely through an optional LAN
controller.
Lightweight net-book PC can be used as control head for the AR2300. (PC not included. )
Digital signal processing
45MHz of the 3rd intermediate frequency is directly digitized for
digital signal processing for demodulation and spectrum display
by a PC. No automatic gain control (AGC) is employed in the
analog circuitry to allow accurate level monitoring across the IF
bandwidth.
High performance analog front-end
The analog RF front-end is carefully designed and by CAD to
gain optimum performance across the entire receiving
frequency range of 40KHz to 3150MHz.
Direct digital sampling
The HF stage (40kHz to 25MHz) employs direct digital sampling
architecture that offers exceptional linearity across the band.
Direct digital synthesizer (DDS) local oscillator
Direct digital synthesizer is employed for the 1st local oscillator
that ensures fast frequency switching for memory channel
scanning and frequency band search operation.
Accurate reference frequency
The AR2300 is capable of using a GPS pulse signal for an
accurate time base for the local oscillator circuit. 0.01ppm
frequency accuracy for the 10MHz internal master oscillator is
obtained when synchronized to a GPS signal source. The
optional digital I/Q output board is capable of acquiring GPS
data for time-stamping digital I/Q data.
