Front panel without control elements,
remote control via LAN interface.
The receiver can be operated with diverse antennas such
as broadband omnidirectional antennas and directional
antennas. To limit overloading when used with omni
directional antennas, the R&S®EB500 is equipped with a
preselection stage (as recommended by ITU) that avoids
intermodulation and overloading.
Due to its compact size and excellent balance between
performance and power consumption, the R&S®EB500
is designed not just for stationary operation but also
for installation in vehicles, in aircraft (as payload) or in
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).
Key facts
❙Fast panorama scan with up to 12 GHz/s across the
entire frequency range from 9 kHz to 6 GHz
❙1 kHz to 20 MHz IF spectrum and parallel demodulation
with bandwidths from 100 Hz to 20 MHz
❙Spectrum and spectrogram (waterfall) display on receiver
(model .03) or on PC via the R&S®EB500Control software
(model .02)
❙Can be expanded into a direction finder
❙Polychrome IF spectrum for reliable detection of pulsed
signals
❙1 Gbit LAN interface for remote control and data output
❙Comparatively low power consumption for efficient
DC operation, e.g. on a vehicle battery
❙Spacesaving system integration due to ½ 19" width and
three height units
❙Classification and analysis of signals up to 5 MHz
bandwidth (analog and digital modulation) through
evaluation of the I/Q data stream using the R&S®GX430IS
software (in offline mode), for example
❙Multichannel digital downconversion (DDC) within
realtime bandwidth
The R&S®EB500 monitoring receiver is designed to
meet the demanding requirements of ITU-compliant
radiomonitoring tasks in stationary and mobile
environments. The receiver is the ideal choice for
these tasks because it is capable of operation via
the front panel or remote control software, performs
high-speed signal searches in the spectrum,
and gathers information by means of wideband
demodulation. In addition, the R&S®EB500 can be
used for a variety of other applications.
R&S®EB500
Monitoring Receiver
At a glance
The R&S®EB500 monitoring receiver has an outstanding
feature set for monitoring transmissions, detecting inter
ference, locating unlicensed transmitters in the frequency
spectrum, or even functioning as a search receiver. In ad
dition, it is exceptionally compact and consumes relatively
little power. The R&S®EB500 is the optimum solution for
systems that need a high specification receiver but only
have limited available space. When combined with analy
sis software (such as R&S®GX430, for example), it provides
users with a compact receiving and analysis system cover
ing a wide frequency range from 9 kHz to 6 GHz.
