The IZT R5010 uses IZT’s latest generation of tuners with sub-octave preselectors, dual conversion and a variable 1st IF for maximum robustness against false reception and high-power mixers for maximum linearity. A low-noise preampli1er can be activated for maximum sensitivity. Built-in test equipment allows for end-to-end verification and alignment of the receiver. The receiver can be operated in manual or automatic gain control mode. All internal clocks can be synchronized to an external source or the built-in GNSS receiver. The available frequency range will be determined by the installed tuner modules:
- Configurable preselector with 16 high-/low-pass filters for direct sampling from 9 kHz to 140 MHz for highest performance up to the lower VHF range
Alternatively: Configurable preselector with 16 high-/low-pass filters for direct sampling from 9 kHz to 40 MHz for highest flexibility and performance in the HF range - Superhet tuner for 20 MHz to 6000 MHz
- Microwave front-end for 6 GHz to 18 GHz
In its baseline configuration the IZT R5010 offers an instantaneous bandwidth of 60 MHz. Software option IZT R5010-BW1 increases the available bandwidth to 80 MHz. With option IZT R5010-BW2 the maximum bandwidth of 120 MHz will be activated. Up to six DDC channels can be set up within the instantaneous bandwidth of the receiver. Each DDC can handle the full bandwidth, so the only limitation is the maximum output streaming capacity of 20 Gb per second.
The decimation is continuously variable and can be chosen independently for all six DDCs. With maximum decimation, the sample rate can be set as low as 10 kHz at the output of a DDC. The IZT R5010’s flexible job control allows the user to define complex scan
scenarios that will be executed by the receiver. The output data is provided via UDP as complex I/Q data with embedded meta data very similar to the proven IZT R3000 data format. Accurate time stamps allow for calculating the reception time for each sample down to sub-nanosecond accuracy.
