Calian PCIe Card Decimator D4Spectrum & Signal Analyzer
The Decimator D4 spectrum and signal analyzer is a fourth‑generation spectrum measurement and analysis card, providing high-end performance at a low price.
It can function as either an independent spectrum analyzer in a satellite, cable or terrestrial network, or can easily be integrated into a satellite terminal, equipment enclosure or as part of a larger measurement network.
With a very low noise floor and large dynamic range, it is well-suited to measure any type of satellite, cable or terrestrial wireless carrier, including very small carriers, beacon signals and for carrier monitoring applications.
Decimator accepts all signals from 1 .5 MHz to 6.5 GHz and input power levels ranging from –110 to +5 dBm. RBW varies from 1 Hz to 15 MHz. The Decimator can be connected to an external 10 MHz reference for improved frequency accuracy and stability. All data communications with the Decimator occurs via the built-in Ethernet port.
The signal analysis engine demodulates and decodes the MPEG transport-stream-based DVB-S/S2/S2X signal and provides signal characteristics, modulation accuracy, power measurements, and constellation display to view the digital modulation quality.
The card measures only 4.2" x 6.875" x 0.8" and is ideal for integration into small spaces. It can be installed in any enclosure or computer chassis. It is a half-size PCI express (PCIe) card and can be installed in an available computer PCIe slot, providing power to the card.
The HTML5-based user interface allows the D4 to be operated from all browsers and on all platforms, including Android and IOS devices. No additional software is required. The GUI is very easy to use and operates like most traditional spectrum analyzers. It provides user selectable colours for markers and traces, allows storage of multiple traces and provides measurement reporting.
Decimator has a publicly available API for integration into third-party network monitoring systems.
