Gryphon RF-DC
RF Receiver and Data Link Analyzer for Eb/N0 Measurements
Continuing with the Ulyssix™ style of innovation, the Gryphon RF-DC is a first of its kind. A RF Receiver, RF Transmitter, and Data Link Analyzer complete with noise, jitter, latency, and re-sync test modes all the while providing precise bit error rate calculations. The Gryphon RF-DC saves the operator time, by allowing manual or automatic test operation.
Analyze a system’s ability to recover from a variety of common signal interference. Inject FM jitter to a PCM stream to simulate a common phenomenon seen when playing data off of tapes. Re-Sync Mode, measure how long a system takes to recover lock upon loss. Measure round trip link delay of a system in Latency Mode.
The Gryphon RF-DC combines the versatility of a PCM simulator with a RF Transmitter. This pairing provides the user with an unmatched level of precision. The ease of use in the Bald Eagle RF is not lost in the Gryphon RF-DC. The user has the ability of selecting from pre-stored data patterns, the fully programmable PCM simulator, or playing a previously archived Tarsus Archive Data file.
The Gryphon RF-DC system is controlled via the dual capability touch screen displays or through Ethernet connection to a host computer. The Gryphon RF-DC main graphic display allows for easy setup of test parameters and real-time viewing of test results. View and print complete test reports from the host computer.
As with all the Ulyssix™ products, all Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) firmware upgrades to the internal Tarsus3 are done via the Gryphon RF-DC internal software interface via the USB port.
