Delivering high fidelity RF data recording for offline analysis

Modern satellite missions demand high-speed, lossless, secure data capture that’s not dependent on real-time communications. Recording that data onboard, at full fidelity, is essential for mission success.

Kratos®’ Ultra Wideband Recorder (UWR) provides RF recording and playback for instantaneous bandwidths up to 4 GHz across any frequency band(s) to support the most data intensive missions. The system enables cost efficient testing of wideband RF systems for satcom or other applications and data collection for EW applications across a wide band of RF spectrum.

UWR simplifies satellite integration and factory test workflow through a high fidelity recording and playback capability that can be customized for any frequency band(s). It conveniently tests a satellite’s compatibility with a ground system prior to launch, avoiding the effort of moving the satellite asset.
