ARK 3000

Type

Antenna distribution system.

Description

Suitable for use in radio spectrum monitoring and surveillance applications, the ARK 3000 antenna distribution system is capable of receiving signals from up to eight antennas operating within the 20 MHz to 3 GHz frequency range and distributing/switching those signals between up to sixteen receivers, with any radio frequency output being assignable to any antenna or pre-defined combination of antennas. Other system features include:

local (front panel touchscreen) or remote (Ethernet, using any Internet browser via an 'intuitive' user interface) control
autonomous/manual operating modes
an options package that includes alternative digitally controlled input attenuators, RS-232 and Universal Serial Bus (USB) control interfaces, alternate power supplies (12, 28 or 48 V DC), alternate input connectors and filters and the ability to adapt a control post's protocols and structure in order to emulate an existing antenna distributor.
