There are 5 search strategies in which the classifier code check can work:
Process Steps
P1
Only classification is performed, but no decoding
P2
Classification and table check are performed, but no decoding
P3
Classification, table check and code check are performed, but no decoding
P4
Classification and table check are performed and finally the signal is decoded if
a mode with an associated, valid detector was found
P5
Classification, table check and code check are performed and finally the signal
is decoded if a mode with an associated, valid detector was found
Scan Delay in Automatic Modes
In all three operation modes (Direct mode, Memory scan and Frequency search) the classifier code check
adopts a “scan delay” method: When the classifier and code check find a signal at a frequency, the auto-
matic jump to the next frequency / database entry is deferred until the complete classifier code check re-
sult is delivered. In this way W-SPECTRA delivers more precise, stable and reliable monitoring results.
Summary of the Three Operation Modes
The following table summarizes the three operation modes and their parameters.
Direct mode
Memory scan
Frequency search
Description
Classify and decode a
signal by setting a re-
ceiver frequency manu-
ally. Use “Sweep” mode
to catch a signal in a
small range
Rescan and verify the
spectrum according to da-
tabase entries. New result
can be inserted into the
database
Automatic search signals
(classify and code check)
over a predefined frequency
band according to a search
strategy. Results automati-
