RadioInspector: Pre
and Post Signal Detection Data Recording, Storage and Analysis
RadioInspector has increased its data recording, storage and analysis
capability. For each signal that exceeds and operator determined threshold,
including the unique Dynamic Threshold, operators can now select the number of
spectrum scans both prior to and after each signal detection event with a predetermined bandwidth, for recording and storage in separate files.
Each signal breaking a predetermined threshold is added to
the list of detected signals with spectrum graph for review and operators can
select automatic audio recording, signal classification and recognition
testing and recently announced separate IQ data recording. Now, data for each
individual signal detection, including operator selected pre and post event
data, is saved as a separate scan file and can be analyzed with the same tools
as full recorded spectrum sweeps with the RadioInspector RP post processing
program. This includes file playback at user selected speeds (forward or
reverse) with 2D and 3D waterfall spectrograms.
Each sweep measurement within the recorded signal file is displayed with the date/time, maximum db level and (if a GPS receiver was used during data collection) the longitude, latitude, altitude, speed (if mobile) and antenna compass information. The signal time-level trace can be displayed and played back, and full parameter measurements can be performed on current, maximum or average values including field strength, occupied frequency bandwidth and frequency of employment. Harmonic and interpolation analysis can also be performed to identify sources of interference.
Once a signal file has been recorded it can be displayed. When selecting the file, operators can choose to center the signal frequency with selected bandwidth in a new window for monitoring and further data collection, or immediately open the file with RadioInspector RP to begin post analysis. As with full spectrum sweeps, post analysis measurement results for each detected signal file can be saved into RadioInspector’s database and any portion of the file can be isolated and re-saved as a new file.
This new ability to save and store separate individual detected signal files with pre detection and post detection data provides even greater, advanced capability for all spectrum analysis applications.
environments.
RadioInspector software provides the ability to connect to
multiple receivers simultaneously through a single application. From the
measuring setup window, operators can connect additional receivers from the more than 150 supported instruments, by
direct connection, remote connection or a combination of both.
Receivers are monitored in separate windows with
all data streamed directly to the connected computer via
RadioInspector’s proprietary ‘I_Master Device’ program. Data from each receiver
is saved in separate, individual files to the RadioInspector database for
recall and post analysis.
* Files can be located for post analysis with RadioInspector RP using individual file names or with search filters including date and time, frequency or frequency band and receiver model.
Multiple connections provide the ability to task different receivers to monitor separate frequency bands, perform discrete frequency monitoring and analysis, RF performance parameter measurements or IQ analysis. Receiver data collection points can form 'RadioInspector Networks' locally or internationally and be monitored individually, in groups or all at the same time.
The number of receivers that can be effectively monitored at one time with a single computer will be dependent on available memory and processing resources. However, RadioInspector has been designed with no limits as to the number of receiver connections that can be made. This provides government and law enforcement organizations with the flexibility to use the amount of resources they choose for any level of monitoring complexity.
RadioInspector’s stand-alone I_Remote Check program further
compliments this capability by providing the option to monitor any number of
receivers within the same network simultaneously for signals that break
operator determined thresholds. In this case data is recorded and stored on each local computer. When using the I_Remote check program, the location of each receiver can be displayed on an uploaded floor plan
or geographic map with live, active status icons, audible alarms and individually viewable detected signal
lists.
RadioInspector: Automatic IQ Data Recording and Storage
RadioInspector now provides the ability to automatically
record and store IQ data for signals that break an operator determined
threshold, including RadioInspector’s unique, first of its kind dynamic
threshold. Operators can enter a sampling rate (kHz) and
recording length for each detected signal. Stored IQ data files can then be loaded
at any time for post processing and analysis or export as required.
This latest feature adds to RadioInspector’s unique,
multi layered IQ capability which includes the Signal Classification Analysis
and Recognition sub-system (SCARS) and DTEST (Digital Test) program providing advanced, in depth
analysis of streaming IQ data for supported critical digital communication
standards.
RadioInspector’s RF analysis and performance measurement
sub-system provides live IQ digital processing for up to 8MHz of selected bandwidth with
phase and amplitude analysis, filtering and decimation and constellation diagram.
IQ data can also be manually recorded during live spectrum scanning
with an operator selected recording length for any chosen signal or bandwidth
(up to the IF bandwidth of the receiver). When a wide bandwidth is recorded,
individual signals or any portion of the recorded IQ data can be isolated and saved
as a new file.
Recorded IQ data files are processed by the sophisticated
stand-alone IQ process program, which was recently enhanced to provide the
ability to process IQ data files of any size and includes a new scatter plot
diagram display.
The ongoing development of RadioInspector’s class leading IQ data recording and analysis provides operators with the ability to utilize current advanced receiver capability but also upcoming improved receiver hardware and computer performance as it is introduced into the market space.

RadioInspector Extended Reference Trace Features and User Defined Spectrum Masks
Extended Reference Trace Features
New extended
reference trace features have been added to RadioInspector, allowing
operators to merge (combine) multiple previously saved traces by their maximum values, for use as
a single reference trace. Operators can also
display an additional trace (loaded from a previously saved file) which can be
used for visual control when merging multiple traces with the reference trace.
If the frequency band limits or the frequency scan steps in the
loaded or merge trace do not match with the current measurement settings, RadioInspector will interpolate the loaded trace.
The operator can also choose to display the difference trace, which can represent either the current or maximum trace
minus the reference trace. The
operator can display the results as a positive difference or a 2D
difference trace. In addition there is now an option to increase or
decrease the dB level to offset the difference trace for improved visual
analysis.
The latest extended reference trace features can be used separately with the main spectrum scanning and analysis GUI, advanced RF signal analysis and performance measurement subsystem, or the discrete frequency inspection GUI for increased comparative analysis.
User Defined Spectrum Masks
RadioInspector now
provides the option to display operator defined spectrum masks, which are overlaid onto the
spectrum scanning GUI. Spectrum mask files can be created as required for individual frequencies or frequency bands, with name and descriptive information and individually or collectively displayed during spectrum scanning and analysis operations. Spectrum masks can also be displayed during post analysis with the
RadioInspector RP post processing program.
Spectrum masks provide a static reference display of predetermined or known frequency spectrum allocations or specific standardized ranges. While this can assist with visual orientation of the spectrum and can help improve overall spectrum awareness, determining with any certainty, whether a signal belongs to a specific standard and is a potential threat, requires proper technical analysis. RadioInspector's extensive list of features including RF signal performance measurement, IQ data and digital signal processing with classification and recognition technology, offers sophisticated and precise signal analysis. The addition of user defined spectrum masks compliments this advanced technical capability.
Note: Digital audio demodulators for DMR, Apco25 and Tetra signals are being finalized and along with audio demodulation and recording, information regarding the address of the receiver, transmitter and service commands will be recorded and displayed in the audio player mode.

RadioInspector Enhanced IQ Data Post Processing and Analysis
RadioInspector’s IQ Process program has been modified to provide additional IQ data analysis capability. The program is designed for professionals who work with RF spectrum and signal data, recorded in the form of a quadrature (IQ) and compliments RadioInspector's live IQ analysis.
Operators can select a bandwidth size for recording and display of IQ data, up to the digitized IF bandwidth of the receiver, with the ability to isolate and separate (cut out) individual signals from a wide recorded bandwidth. Operators can identify and analyze signals including those close to or obscured by the noise floor, or separate signals in dense portions of the spectrum or in close proximity.
Advanced post processing includes performing a digital frequency shift or fine tuning the frequency measurement, digital filtering and re-sampling of source data at a desired frequency rate, decimating original IQ data to a predetermined sampling frequency and applying ‘Windowing’ techniques, providing operators with detailed results for analysis.
The newly updated IQ Process Program now allows processing of recorded IQ data files of any length. The program provides the ability for skilled visual analysis of IQ data in the time and spectral fields and now includes a signal field display in the form of a scatter plot diagram in the complex plane (constellation diagram). The program can display the movement of signal points and dynamics of the displacement signal in the complex domain from one signaling point to another.
Specific upcoming receiver software updates will provide operators with the ability to record a continuous IQ data stream without recording time limitations. These latest enhancements provide an increased level of advanced technical signal analysis capability for government, law enforcement, civil and military intelligence applications.
* IQ Process is designed as a stand-alone program and does
not require RadioInspector to operate. The program can be downloaded
independently on any computer anywhere in the world, along with saved IQ files
created by any RadioInspector system, for information export and sharing as well
as for additional post analysis.
