MS-8006 Multichannel Spectrum Surveillance System

Overview

The WiNRADiO MS-8006 Multichannel Surveillance System is aimed at government, military, security, media monitoring and industrial applications. This system has six independent channels, each covering the frequency range of 150 kHz to 1500 MHz (extensible to 4 GHz).

MS-8006 Multichannel Spectrum Monitoring System

The System provides an ellegant, fully integrated and easily trasportable solution for automated surveillance and monitoring. The received signals can be recorded in a digitized form on the in-built hard disk for easy later retrieval. The recordings are time and date stamped, and also include signal strength information in one-second intervals.

The Hardware

The System is enclosed in a ruggedized industrial-grade 19" rack-mounted enclosure. A high-contrast TFT LCD screen is used for display.

At the heart of the System there are six WR-3150i-DSP receivers which make it possible to achieve the necessary high-level of integration and miniaturization. Extended frequency coverage receivers are available as an option. Each receiver has its own control microprocessor and digital signal processor. The receivers are designed to operate in harsh electromagnetic environment.

The Software

The WiNRADiO MS-8006 Multichannel Monitoring System features an efficient, intuitive user interface not usually available with conventional monitoring systems.

The informative control panel includes many innovative features, designed to empower the user with a multitude of facilities suitable for a wide range of applications ranging from conventional logging and time-schedule recording, to sophisticated, fully automated surveillance missions.

MS-8006 Status Screen

The software allows the user to observe the status of all received channels on a single status screen using virtual "micropanels" for each channel, each of them expandable to a full-size panel with additional facilities.

Each channel allows for independent operation of a high-performance scanning receiver with sophisticated functions such as automatic task scheduler, spectrum scope, signal strength recorder, programmable audio recorder, and many other features.
