URT - Universal Receiver Tester
The URT-Series offers several tools to capture, generate and playback real-world RF signals, with all its impairments. It offers products for Navigation as well as Broadcast Radio & Video and can be used for receiver validation, testing and support. The series comprises a RF Signal Generator as well as a RF Record & Playback System with different form factors depending on the needs of the customer.
These devices are innovative test systems for both field testing and performance testing. The compact size and the easy-to-use GUI make the devices ideal for simple field operation. The innovative engineering is designed to drive sophisticated applications.
Recording live RF signals in the field, without de-modulation or alteration, reduces the need for traditional field-testing of RF receivers. Reproduce complex field conditions accurately and consistently in the lab, and cut-back costly field trips to validate design changes.
With a broad range of frequencies supported and a broad recording bandwidth the URT series is well positioned to support the entire spectrum of Navigation as well as Broadcast Radio & Video protocols. By recording or generating pure RF spectrum, Record & Playback technology is not limited to specific protocols. As a result, an investment in URT instrumentation will prove to be relevant today with current protocols but future protocol development as well.
