R&S^®PR100 Portable Receiver

Intuitive and convenient operation

The operating concept of the R&S^®PR100 meets the requirements placed on a modern radiomonitoring receiver, i.e. all important functions such as demodulation modes, bandwidths, etc. can be set directly by means of clearly labeled keys. Users will thus familiarize themselves quickly with the receiver.

The receiver is controlled conveniently via keys and the rotary knob. Clearly structured menus provide quick access to the instrument parameters and functions.

Results as well as the spectrum and waterfall diagrams can be read at a glance from the bright and straightforward 6.5" VGA color display. The backlighting of the display can be dimmed for use in dark surroundings. For use in sunlight, a special black-and-white display mode is available that provides optimum contrast.

The IF panorama display allows the detailed analysis of a frequency range of interest. The current receive frequency is positioned at the center of the spectrum display. IF bandwidths between 10 kHz and 10 MHz can be selected for optimal adaptation to the task at hand. The AVERAGE, MIN HOLD and MAX HOLD functions further expand analysis capabilities.

The result display can be set to suit the particular requirement. Measured data is available in various formats. Digital data is output via the LAN interface:

• Complex baseband data (I/Q data) up to 500 kHz bandwidth
• Digital audio data up to 12.5 kHz bandwidth
• Spectra of panorama scan (maximum refresh rate)
• Spectra of IF panorama display
• Measured signal levels
• Measured frequency offset values
• Measured field strength values (antenna factors of antenna used must be stored in the receiver)

Analog data is output via the corresponding analog interface:

• Analog audio data via 3.5 mm jack
• 21.4 MHz uncontrolled IF via BNC socket (for receive frequencies from 20 MHz to 7.5 GHz)
