Signal Hound announced the release of its next product, the PCR4200. This multi-channel receiver opens possibilities in signal capture and analysis. It operates from 100 kHz to 20 GHz and possesses high performance specifications.
The PCR4200 enables full spectral awareness through a combination of high dynamic range and ultra-fast measurement speeds to enable users deep insight into the swept bandwidth. With four channels, the PCR4200 is configured to perform exceptionally well in diverse signal environments. This receiver expands its functional capacities with the included PCR Series API, allowing the device to integrate with multiple third-party software applications.
“This multi-channel receiver can be adapted to many uses. It can sweep incredibly fast with independently tuned channels, up to 200 GHz per second, to capture any signal of interest within the bandwidth,” said Justin Crooks, senior hardware engineer at Signal Hound. “Each channel of the PCR4200 can also be configured as a phase-coherent channel, making this product that much more versatile to the user. It really is an all-in-one solution for multi-channel, wideband spectrum monitoring.”
The addition of the PCR4200 to the Signal Hound portfolio aligns with an ongoing initiative to offer practical test and measurement tools that give RF professionals reliable and accurate options to complete their work and advance research. The multi-channel receiver was designed with input from customers and users with specific parameters in regard to specifications.
“We continue to provide the kinds of tools that users throughout the world have a need for. Access to quality, feature-rich instruments is a commitment Signal Hound has made when it comes to the types of products we are developing,” said Harrison Osbourn, CEO. “Users of test and measurement equipment will find the PCR4200 fills numerous needs and performs to the level our customers expect.” At just 16 lbs. and measuring 12 x 11.5 x 3 in., this new product offers a combination of precision and power in a portable form factor that is equally suited to the benchtop, lab or out in the field.
