Spectra Go – V/UHF Monitoring & Direction Finding System

COMMSAUDIT PART NUMBER: CA9547-6

V/UHF Direction Finding Antenna

  • 20 MHz – 6GHz
  • Lightweight Design
  • Incorporates two Antenna bands
  • Quick and Easy to Pack

Applications

  • Man Portable
  • Vehicle Operations
  • Static/semi-static locations

Man-Portable

The unique design ensures this antenna is quick to deploy and disassemble for easy transportation. The lightweight form factor allows the antenna components to be divided up between team members or quickly packed into a case for air lift or vehicle moves.

Manoeuvre Operations

This antenna is an excellent for vehicle borne operations due to the speed with which it can be deployed. Dependent on the operating environment it can be tripod mounted at ground level once static or elevated from a vehicle mounted mast for improved detection range.

Static/Semi Static Sites

The minimum packaging of this antenna means it is easily transportable for use in static or semi-static locations. It can be mounted on a building or perimeter wall for quick deployment or mast mounted within a complex for more permanent operations.

Portable and Lightweight Monitoring & Direction Finding System

Spectra Go is a compact, portable, wideband monitoring and direction finding system with an operating frequency range of 20 MHz to 6 GHz. Spectra Go was specifically developed for high performance tactical RF signal monitoring, direction-finding and geolocation applications.

Spectra Go comprises of a packable DF antenna, ruggedised receiver , optional processing unit, and SpectraView software.

The Spectra Go Direction Finding antenna incorporates two antenna bands, each comprised of five elements. The antenna incorporates low noise amplifiers to maximise sensitivity, RF gain control and pre-selection filtering to maximise dynamic range, and RF sequencing to facilitate phase-interferometric direction finding. The antenna is light weight and designed for minimum packing size to facilitate easier deployment logistics. Spectra Go is ideal for man-portable and vehicle borne operations. Elevation of the antenna using masts or buildings of opportunity will enhance detection ranges from static/semi-static locations.

The wideband receiver is packaged in a rugged waterproof housing suitable for the harshest of environments. Spectra Go has two  phase-coherent digitising receive channels, each with 100 MHz digitised bandwidth. Advanced integrated digital signals processing enables parallel prosecution of multiple signals of interest whilst maintaining energy and compute resource efficiency.

An optional processing unit extends the base system with long-duration wideband buffering to facilitate after the event ’post-facto’ signal monitoring, recording, direction-finding and geo-location.
