Description
I. Overview
Product Features
- Compact (257.3 x 193.7 x 60 mm), portable (2.72 kg), quiet (fanless)
- Gigabit Ethernet-based control and communications; networked and remotely deployable real-time spectrum analyzer
- Wide instantaneous bandwidth, modern waveforms such as the 802.11ac standard utilize bandwidth that takes up to 80 M Hz of the waveform, while LTE-Advanced is designed to take advantage of bandwidths of up to 100 M Hz. The R5550 provides instantaneous bandwidths of up to 100 M Hz in its Direct Inverter Frequency (ZIF) mode.
- Deep Dynamic Range: RF measurements used to characterize IP3 typically require a dynamic range of approximately 100 dB. The R5550 supports multiple ADCs to provide a wide IBW with 70 dB dynamic range and a narrow band IBW with 100 dB dynamic range.
- Hybrid super-exception, direct-conversion and direct-digitizing RF receiver front-end (RFE)
- The receiver front-end inputs and outputs support clock synchronization, while the IF outputs are used for high-end digitization.
- 125 M samples/s 14-bit wideband (WB) ADC with dynamic range greater than 70 dB
- A 325 k samples/s 24-bit narrow-band (NB) ADC with a dynamic range of more than 100 dB
- Xilinx's Zynq FPGAs with ARM-based dual-core processors, Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and customized embedded digital signal processing (DSP) logic
- 1 GB DDR3 shared between firmware and real-time cache of digital data
- General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) Ports
- The hardware architecture is as follows:

IV. Hardware interface
- With I and Q output ports (IQout), it can be used to integrate RTSA's RF front-end with an external high-speed digitizer.
- 配備了高中頻(HIF)轉換技術,旨在將頻率擴展到頻率範圍受限的接收器。R5550-418 HIF 技術將0.05-27GHz 頻率範圍內的RF(射頻)輸入信號轉換為可用於接收器的IF(中頻)信號。模擬HIF 輸出信號顯示在RTSA 的HIF OUT 端口上。
- The GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) ports support extended hardware functionality including SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) bus, I2C serial interface, PPS (Pulse Per Second) inputs, external trigger inputs/outputs as well as specific radio front-end control and status.
