PC based signal analysis and signal processing software

R&S®CA100 is a standalone software solution for detecting, classifying and processing radiocommunications signals. R&S®CA100 supports a wide spectrum of applications ranging from manual signal processing and analysis of an individual signal up to automatic recognition and processing of signals in a wideband signal scenario.

Features & benefits

Automatic classification

Spare operators routine work

When unknown signals are encountered, R&S®CA100 supports the user by providing a powerful classifier for automatic detection and recognition of modulation type and transmission system. When monitoring, the classifier supports recognition of known signal types or reports them as "unknown" results.

System classification and visualization

The powerful R&S®CA100 classifier for the HF and VHF/UHF frequency ranges can recognize the modulation type and transmission system.

Machine learning

High speed spectral shape search

The spectral shape detector is designed to search for known and unknown signals by performing spectral pattern matching. It is very fast and customizable, searching for signals of interest as specified by the user. The decisions of the matching algorithm are based on many criteria within a comprehensive decision matrix, which allows the reliable assessment of similarities between input signals and shape description sets.

Four signals of an 80 MHz signal scenario provided by an R&S®ESMD wideband monitoring receiver are detected, classified, demodulated and decoded in parallel.

Rule based signal processing

Reduced operator workload due to automatic signal processing

R&S®CA100 combines signal detection with configurable, rule based, loss-free automatic processing of communications signals (classification, demodulation, decoding, content recovery, recording).

Classification, demodulation and decoding

Classification, demodulation and decoding

R&S®CA100 contains a comprehensive library of demodulators and decoders.

Open interfaces

User-specific expansions

R&S®CA100 allows users to integrate user-programmed signal processing modules (receiver driver, demodulator, decoder). Users can deploy their own expertise independently in solutions.
