Real-Time Signal Analysis System for French Atomic Energy Commission Lab by RF Engines

RF Engines Limited announced that it has delivered an advanced, real-time, signal analysis system to the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) Laboratories in Paris, France.

The hardware and firmware based system consists of a flexible and efficient digital receiver architecture, capable of detecting and characterising signals with a broad range of different modulation schemes and durations. This work follows on from an earlier evaluation of RF Engines’ Pipelined Frequency Transform (PFT) demonstration system by the CEA. This latest test system is to be used by the CEA to acquire and investigate complex signals from across a 25MHz bandwidth in real-time, and uses a combination of novel frequency measurement techniques to acquire the signal from a noisy signal environment and to assist in the characterisation of the modulation type.

John Summers, RF Engines’ CEO said:

We have built a very strong relationship with CEA over a number of years, which has resulted in this order for a very advanced signal analysis product for their development work. We are one of the world leaders, if not the leader, in high performance channelisation systems and have been able to apply this expertise to CEA’s specific requirement to deliver a solution that exactly meets their needs…
