The R&S®UMS400 from Rohde & Schwarz is a Universal Monitoring System that operates from 8 kHz to 8 GHz (can be extended up to 20 GHz). It can be used for outdoor spectrum monitoring and radiolocation of sporadic interferers. This monitoring system supports signal measurements in line with ITU Recommendations and can be integrated into monitoring systems running the R&S®ARGUS spectrum monitoring software or other control software easily. It also supports the time difference of arrival (TDOA) and angle of arrival (AoA) radiolocation as options. The system has a compact size and can be installed in remote-controlled fixed monitoring stations or in mobile monitoring stations.
The R&S®UMS400 offers rapid spectrum scans with the R&S®CS-PS panorama scan option. In panorama scan mode, fast overlapping FFT ensures reliable detection of even the shortest burst emissions. It can be upgraded to direction finding (DF) with the R&S®CS-DF direction-finding option in combination with a Rohde & Schwarz DF antenna. With R&S®ARGUS spectrum monitoring software, several stations equipped with the R&S®UMS400 can be networked for radiolocation and other monitoring tasks such as automated detection, identification, and localization of interfering signals and unlicensed emissions.
The R&S®UMS400 is available in an enclosure that measures 227 x 341 x 88 mm and consumes less than 100 W of power.
