AOR-ALPHA

Now you can monitor radio frequencies from 10 KHz - 3.5 GHz (less cellular on consumer model)

The first in a new class of professional grade monitoring receivers featuring AOR’s compressed digital technology!

Covering 10KHz to 3.5GHz (less cellular on consumer model), this desktop or rack mount receiver sets new standards for signal monitoring,
signal searching, spectrum display, and signal recording.

Featuring wideband receive and advanced DSP technology with a high speed DDS local oscillator

Innovative ZERO-IF from the 10.7MHz digital processing

 Versatile spectrum scope with FFT technology

 Stable OCXO and I/Q output.

 In addition to a wide variety of AM and FM modes, the AR-ALPHA also receives and displays analog TV signals in NTSC, PAL and SECAM formats

APCO-25 digital reception and a Digital Voice Recorder that can capture up to 52 minutes of audio and six channels.

Monitoring professionals will appreciate the world class engineering and attention to detail that makes the AR-ALPHA a breakthrough in monitoring capability.

Rear panel connections include 12 VDC power, RS-232C, USB 2.0, I/Q output with 1 MHz bandwidth, two antenna ports (one SO-239 and one Type N) and up to four antennas may be selected through the receiver’s controls with the optional AS5000 antenna selector. No wonder so many monitoring professionals including government agencies, newsrooms, laboratories, military users and more, rely on AOR, the Authority On Radio.

High Definition Front End with Innovative Zero Frequency 3rd IF Stage

New high definition RF front end was designed without compromise and includes 17 separate bandpass filters, high grade RF amplifier, and high quality attenuator. The RF section with superior high linearity generates a 10.7MHz 2nd IF signal and feeds the DSP circuit, for a 3rd IF frequency of Zero.

The AR-ALPHA features a stable OCXO (Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator) as standard equipment. This premium OCXO delivers +/- 0.1 ppm stability which is similar to performance found in test instruments. An external 10MHz standard signal can be also used. Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator

The AR-ALPHA features a versatile digital demodulator that includes APCO-25, a digital filter, auto notch filter, IF shift, noise reduction, analog voice descrambler, tone eliminator, DCS, CTCSS, level squelch, and voice squelch. An audio output with 12 KHz BW is also available for DRM, SDR.

Spectrum Display

The AR-ALPHA redefines excellence in professional monitoring receivers! Analog TV reception Surveillance camera reception AOR original FFT algorithm enables display of up to 1 GHz bandwidth. Frequency resolutions are: 1 KHz, 4KHz, 32KHz, 64KHz, 128KHz.

Large LCD Color Display Panel

The 6.4 inch TFT LCD color display utilizes 640 x 480 pixel high resolution to display received video signals as well as spectrum activity over a wide range of bandwidths. It also displays received TV signals in NTSC, PAL and SECAM formats.
