The HUGIN 4000 from Novator Solutions is a Multichannel Receiver optimized for strategic COMINT applications that operates from 2 MHz to 6 GHz. It has 2 to 12 RF input channels, with an instantaneous bandwidth of 80 MHz and an aggregated bandwidth between 160 MHz and 960 MHz. This receiver contains up to 6144 DDCs and each of these DDCs is individually configurable during run-time. The real-time configuration enables the operators to adjust parameters like center frequency, bandwidth, gain, filter coefficients, and IQ data stream or demodulation instantaneously.
This multichannel receiver can have up to 6 receiver modules in a single chassis and each receiver module has two individual RF inputs which share 1024 DDCs. It supports AM, FM, SSB, and CW demodulation. The combination of the large amount of DDCs with analog demodulation reduces the amount of data to the necessary minimum making it ideal for networked narrowband communication surveillance.
HUGIN 4000 features independent and phase-coherent tuning with superior sensitivity and high dynamic range. The server client architecture of this receiver allows remote operations and seamless streaming of intercepted data and the intuitive API enables easy integration with any 3rd party COMINT monitoring software. The receiver comes with an embedded server which is controlled via 1Gb Ethernet and the FPGA module has two 10Gb Ethernet interfaces that support two receiver modules or 4 individual RF inputs. A fully configured system with 12 RF inputs uses three FPGA modules which ensures enough data streaming capacity over six 10 Gb Ethernet interfaces.
The HUGIN 4000 is based on a modular 19” rack-mountable chassis design and it is a game changer in the domain of COMINT receivers with one of the lowest costs per channel ratio. Its modular built and state-of-the-art software-defined radio technology makes this receiver platform ideal for monitoring, scanning, and direction-finding applications.
