UPPER SADDLE RIVER, N.J., 14 Dec. 2012. Pentek Inc. in Upper Saddle River, N.J., is introducing the model RTR 2727 rugged portable data recorder for military and aerospace applications.
The system features recording and playback of IF signals to 700 MHz with signal bandwidths to 200 MHz. It can be configured with 500 MHz 12-bit A/D converters or 400 MHz 14-bit A/Ds and an 800 MHz 16-bit D/A converter.
Pentek's SystemFlow software enables turnkey operation through a graphical user interface (GUI), while the SystemFlow application programming interface (API) helps integrate the recording software into custom applications.
At the heart of the recorder are the Pentek Cobalt Series Virtex-6 software radio boards featuring A/D and D/A converters, digital downconverters (DDCs), digital upconverters (DUCs), and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) IP. Optional GPS time and position stamping captures this information within the recording.
