NARDA SignalShark

NARDA SignalShark HF/VHF/UHF


Receiver for detection, analysis, classification and localization of RF Signals between 8 kHz and 8 GHz. Applicable for mobile and stationary use.
Just like that highly efficient hunter in the ocean, SignalShark derives its success in measurement from the interplay of its highly developed seven senses or sensors.

Key Facts

  • go2signals support
  • World's smallest man-pack COMINT & Radio DF system! Wideband receiver for Detection, Analysis, Classification and Localization of RF Signals between 8 kHz and 8 GHz. Applicable for mobile and stationary use.
  • Typical applications are COMINT Systems, satellite monitoring, broadband RF recorders or quality measurements in mobile communication networks
  • Highest signal quality in the frequency range up to 6 GHz
  • Up to 40MHz instantaneous bandwidth
  • VITA 49
  • Six independent digital down converters (DDC)
  • Real-time spectrum calculation
  • Large internal buffer memory

Like a Shark, that highly efficient hunter in the ocean, Narda SignalShark derives its success in measurement from the interplay of its highly developed senses.
Its 40 MHz real-time bandwidth captures the spectrum of even very short-pulsed signals > 3.125μs with a POI of 100 %. This guarantees a consistent awareness of all spectrum events.
Due to its distinguished analysis functions as real-time spectrum, spectrogram and persistence, measured signals are analyzed with a very high frequency and time resolution.

SignalShark is available in three different versions:

  1. Handheld
  2. Remote (19")
  3. Outdoors

NARDA offers a wide range of accessories (direction finding antennas etc.)
