MBRA IFXRRD (BECOMING DEPRECATED)

Description

Rincon Research Corporation’s (RRC) MountainBrik RAID and Acquisition (MBRA) IFXRRD is becoming deprecated. It is a compact, high-speed storage solution with integrated signal acquisition. The IFXRRD-01 has dual, 500 MSPS, IF digitizers.

Recordings can be done in single shot or in looped mode. In looped mode, new data overwrites older data for indefinite recording duration. Six solid-state disks are easily removable from the top of the chassis to facilitate quick drive swaps in the field for additional storage.

The recorded data playback feature permits the user to reproduce an analog output of recorded data streams. Recorded data is time tagged when the system is connected to external time/frequency sources.

The IFXRRD has two independent inputs that can be used simultaneously. It includes two, independent, sub-band tuners that can be deployed on either of the input channels. The sub-band tuners support output bandwidths from 21 kHz to 42 MHz. An intuitive Java-based command and control interface supports operation using Windows, OS X, and Linux platforms.

Features

  • Save the entire 105 MHz input bandwidth to disk for more than 7 hours
  • Record at rates of up to 700 MByte/s in a single shot or in looped mode for indefinite recording duration
  • Quickly and easily swap the six removable, solid-state disks for additional data storage
  • Ascertain system health at a glance using the intuitive Web-based control interface
  • Transport the system in a rugged, lightweight, waterproof case
