SRS-GUI Multi-band digital fast-scanning
search and intercept receiver GUI application

 The SRS-GUI easy-to-use graphical user interface is designed to speed signal detection in dense signal environments. Simple dialogs configure the system hardware, setup and control the search and collection subsystem, and present user displays and visuals. Multiple displays with high update rates can reveal broad and close-up views of signals simultaneously. Threshold and triggers automate the task of keeping track of incoming signals. Signals database automatically logs all signals of interest for later use. Integration with legacy systems completes the solution, shown here with Direction Finding results.
Versatile tools for the search and intercept task
Everything within the SRS-GUI user interface is designed to increase an operator’s efficiency during a mission. The key to efficiently intercepting and collecting signals is to provide the operator with an integrated suite of tools for controlling the whole system.
Optimized graphical user interface
The SRS-GUI has easy-to-use graphical user interface which is designed to speed signal detection in dense signal environments. Simple tool panels are used to configure the system hardware, setup and control the search and collection subsystem, and finally to present various user displays and visualization tools.
High-speed visual displays
Display types with very high update rates show how signals change over time and frequency. Multiple displays can reveal broad and close-up view of signals simultaneously. Whether the signals are stationary or moving, burst or continuous, low-level or high power, the SRS-GUI spectrum and spectrogram displays have the speed and resolution needed to resolve fine details.

SRM-GUI Narrow-band digital multi-channel
monitor and collection receiver GUI application

Audible tools to classify signals
The SRM-GUI can easily send signals to narrow-band AM/FM/SSB monitoring receiver channel. Voice signals can be listened to directly. Many digital signals have distinctive sounds that reveal the signal type to an experienced operator. Manual or automatic modes let the operator assign monitoring and collection instruction to signals of interest.
Capturing direction information
Signal parameters can also be passed to a direction finding sub-system. The returned geo-location information like azimuth and elevation is integrated in the display and saved in the signal history database.
Linking together with markers
Markers and the mouse works together to provide efficient working environment. Handoff receivers and modulation recognition can all be linked to markers. A click of the mouse place and the mouse wheel steps the marker from peak to peak, the button pressing automatically pass center frequency and bandwidth to the monitoring subsystem for further parameter extraction with DF and modulation analysis. The operator can listen to the signal while the DF and modulation type information update in the reserved display area.
Record a signal for later analysis
During a mission, signals can be recorded for later analysis. The DDC based digital receivers zoom their center frequency and bandwidth to slice the signal of interest out of the spectrum. Its time data is recorded and could be sent to the host computer where analysts can evaluate it later.

SDF-GUI Radio direction finding receiver system
remote control GUI application

The remote control software is able to control up to 4 DF equipments, but more copy of the program could run in same time to increase the number of the controlled receiver in larger DF systems.

The remote control software is able to send the collected measured bearings to digital map based visualization programs, where the actual location of the DF station is based on the GPS coordinates.

The log acquisition function may be used to store all of main parameters like frequency, squelch level, received signal level, measured bearing, position (GPS) with a synchronization time stamp provided in the system’s internal memory. The stored parameter file can be accessed via the user interface on the equipment itself or through a connected computer using the remote control software to reproduce an entire mission’s data. The control software can be used for archiving the collected log for historical, analytic or future mission planning.

Optionally, the DF receiver unit may be equipped with an internal solid-state memory card-based voice recorder. This device can be used to record voice communications for future analysis and synchronize them to logged measurements using the stored GPS time data. Recordings may be played back on the system and of course, it can link to an external tape, solid-state or digital recorder for archiving the recordings.

The results of the task are presented in the form of result log records for further processing by external command and control posts. Each log record contains the basic parameters of the emission. Basically the main parameter of the record is the carrier frequency of the signal. The record contains a sub record of signal timing which shows the signal activity by recording the time of signal emission using the GPS synchronized time stamp. The records contain all of other parameters of the signal including signal level, bandwidth, modulation. The result log can be used for further higher-level analysis.

The DF receiver equipment has a built-in electronic compass in the antenna subsystem. This means that automatic calibration of the bearing measurement is done without any human interaction. The displayed bearing can be relative (to the antenna head) for homing operations or absolute (to the magnetic north) for geo-location measurements. The equipment’s position is accurately and continuously determined through the built-in GPS receiver using geographical coordinates resulting perfect for mobile operations.
