    Demodulation of Monitoring solution

    Using the R&S®EB500 monitoring receiver with it’s


    ­optional digital downconverters (R&S®EB500-DDC), you

    four channels in can perform the described monitoring tasks easily and
    conveniently.

    ­parallel with just one A single monitoring receiver can demodulate (or measure
    the level of) up to four signals in parallel. Demodulation
    type and bandwidth, as well as the center frequency and

    receiver the applied squelch level, can be set fully independently


    for each channel.

    The four channels must be set to a frequency within the


    Multichannel signal reception in parallel using R&S®EB500’s realtime bandwidth (up to 20 MHz) and the
    digital downconverters in a monitoring receiver receiver itself has to be set to fixed frequency mode (FFM).

    The main demodulation channel has a maximum band-


    width of 5 MHz bandwidth. Each of the three additional
    DDC channels has a maximum bandwidth of 1 MHz.

    The content of four different on-air channels is demodu-


    lated in parallel and stored internally to the receiver’s hard
    drive or streamed out via the 1 Gbit LAN interface to a re-
    mote control PC. On the remote control PC, four different
    files will be automatically created to independently record
    the received on-air signals.

    The demodulated content of analog modulated signals


    (AM, FM, etc.) is recorded as an audio *.wav file, which
    can be replayed using a standard Windows media player,
    for example.

    Your task The demodulated content of digitally modulated signals


    You want to demodulate received signals to extract the (4PSK, 16QAM, etc.) is recorded as a baseband I/Q *.wav
    content. You are working in a radiomonitoring environ- file, which can be further analyzed using a signal analysis
    ment and may not know which demodulation type and software package (e.g. R&S®CA100). The data format de-

    need to demodulate signals received at different frequen- be used for analysis, e.g. a Matlab® software package (pro-
    cies at the same time, but your budget or your installation gramming skills highly recommended).
    space and power requirements limit you to a single receiv-
    er setup. Additionally, you want to store the demodulated
    information either as an audio file or a baseband (I/Q) file
    for offline analysis and further evaluation.
