The
elegant engineering of TC1/BR Models 8074 and 8174
Digital HF Receivers features digital signal
processing (DSP) technology to provide remotely
controllable premium performance, convenience, and
flexibility while minimizing cost and maintenance.
Performance is outstanding. High dynamic range is
achieved with electronically switched preselector
filters; high-dynamic range RF front end; a
low-noise, fast-tuning synthesizer; digital gain
control; and 32-bit DSP.
It is easy to use. All functions are controlled via
a unique Virtual Control Panel (VCP) displayed on a
Windowsฎ-based screen, with hot keys for ali major
functions. (The Power On/Off switch is the only
front-panel hardware). The graphical user interface
can be customized for unique data display
requirements.
It is easy to maintain. Comprehensive Built-In Test
Equipment (BITE/BIT), rugged modular design, and
conservative circuitry assure long, trouble-free
operation and ease of maintenance.
It is versatile and cost effective. One computer can
control up to 3 l receivers via a single RS-485
port; a computer with multiple RS-485 or RS-232
ports can control multiple banks of receivers. Model
8174 holds one receiver and is only 1U high: Model
8074 holds up to 4 receivers; both models fit
standard 19-inch racks. An optional second digital
signal processor permits many function-enhancing
options, including pan adapter display, data
demodulation, signal parameter measurement, and
frequency tracking. |
