FeaturesThe Wide Band Transcorder™ (WBT™) is a fully self-contained RF recording and playback system. With one box it is possible to record up to 2x40 MHz Blocks of RF spectrum from 50 MHz to 6 GHz. The data is streamed to high-speed SATA solid state drives using an industry standard open format. The data can later be used for playback into other devices, or for direct analysis.

With the capability to support bandwidths as small as 1 MHz, the WBT can be configured to fit any application and any budget.

Also, the WBT can be configured with 1 or 2 tuners (up to 40 MHz per tuner) to support your specific application.

WBT has unlimited disk swapping without shutdown: Via the two drive bays, the operator is able to easily insert additional recording media indefinitely to create as much recorded data as needed.

The WBT is capable of playing back the recorded signals anywhere within the same tuning range without the need for any additional equipment.

GPS Disciplined OscillatorThe WBT-200/210 contains an embedded GPS disciplined oscillator (GPSDO) which provides a precise 10 MHz timing reference (25 ppb over temperature range using an OCXO). It also generates 1PPS signals with +/- 50 nanosecond accuracy. The 50-channel GPS receiver has acquisition sensitivity of -144 dBm and tracking sensitivity of -160 dBm.

DisksThe WBT-200/210 is designed to handle two disks at a time so a new one can be swapped in when one is full. Recording time is therefore limited only by the number of disks available.

Boot Flash CardThe WBT-200/210 boots from a removable CFAST flash card. This provides a way to completely disable the unit by ejecting the card.
