There are numerous demodulation modes, continuously variable IF
bandwidth 1 Hz to 15 kHz (in 1 Hz increments), a 20 kHz wide real-time
spectrum analyzer with 16 Hz resolution, noise blanker and notch filter.
There is also an integrated recorder, making it possible to instantly
record and playback the received signal.
Apart from audio recording and playback, the receiver can also record
an entire 20 kHz wide IF spectrum, making it possible to thoroughly
analyze the received signal, and "re-receive" the same signal again and
again with different IF filter bandwidths, notch filter, noise blanking
or demodulator settings, to arrive at the best possible reception of
weak or interference-prone transmissions.
In addition to the real-time narrow-band spectrum analyzer, there is
also a wide-band
spectrum analyzer which contains additional professional
instrumentation facilities: the ability to display minimum and maximum
spectrum sweeps, search for peaks, average spectra, save and print
spectra, marker mode, etc.
Another useful feature, previously unavailable with receivers of this
price class, is a
test and measurement facility, performing measurements
on the received signal including frequency accuracy, amplitude
modulation depth, frequency deviation, THD (total harmonic distortion)
and SINAD. An audio spectrum analyzer is also included, making it
possible to observe the demodulated spectrum in real-time with a
resolution of 5 Hz.
The unique
research and education function makes it possible to
explore interactive block diagrams of the software-defined demodulator,
for each demodulation mode, and observe demodulation taking place on
real-time signals using two spectrum analyzers and a vector voltmeter.
