- SIGNAL LIST VIEWER provides the ability to view a list of signals generated by RadioInspector that exceed a predetermined threshold, along with signal analysis. The signal file can be shared and reviewed off-site, on any computer with the ISBD Viewer installed.
- Support for the largest and continually expanding list of receivers, spectrum analyzers and SDR instruments from professional manufacturers world-wide.
To maximize the professional TSCM operator’s search of the RF spectrum, RadioInspector provides the operator with the following tools, techniques, and algorithms:
- The ability to operate with a large and expanding list of many different spectrum analyzers and monitoring receivers.
- Providing the capability to interface with and automatically control a scanning receiver for listening to demodulated audio signals.
- Displaying RF spectrum masks over an operator-selected range of frequencies including current, minimum and average values.
- Displaying differences between the reference spectral mask and the current spectral mask.
- Displaying differences between the spectral masks obtained from different antennas.
- Maintaining a list (database) of signals that exceed an operator-defined threshold.
- The capability to store a database of valid frequency assignments for comparing to scanned frequencies for the identification of clandestine signals.
- Analysis of the demodulated audio using a built-in oscilloscope and low-frequency spectrum analyzer.
- Recording demodulated audio – including a unique ability to record the 5-second interval that precedes the time the operator selected the “record” feature, which assures audio of interest is fully captured.
- Automatically recording demodulated audio when the RF signal amplitude exceeds a pre-determined threshold value.
- Analysis, display, and alarm on detection of analog video signals.
- Sending an alarm to a remote computer on the network upon detection of a new signal.
