General Information
The Pentek RTS 2701 is a turnkey, multiband
recording and playback system that
allows the user to record and reproduce
high-bandwidth signals. The RTS 2701
provides sustained recording and playback
rates of up to 500 MB/sec in a dual-channel
system and is ideal for the user that
requires a powerful rack-mount recording
system.
The heart of the RTS 2701 is the Pentek
Model 7641-420 multiband transceiver
which includes recently introduced A/D
and D/A converters, DDCs (digital downconverters),
DUCs (digital upconverters),
and an FPGA-installed IP core. The architecture
allows the system engineer to take
full advantage of the latest technology in a
turnkey system.
SystemFlow Software
Fully supported by Pentek’s SystemFlow Recording Software, the RTS
2701 features a Windows-based GUI
(graphical user interface) that provides a
simple means to configure and control the
system. Custom configurations can be
stored as profiles and later loaded when
needed, allowing the user to select preconfigured
settings with a single click.
SystemFlow also includes signal viewing
and analysis tools, that allow the user
to monitor the signal prior to, during and
after a recording session. These tools include
a virtual oscilloscope and a virtual
spectrum analyzer.
Built on a Windows XP Professional
workstation, users can install post-processing
and analysis tools to operate on the
recorded data. The RTS 2701 records data
to the native NTFS file system thereby providing
immediate access to the recorded
data. Data can be offloaded via gigabit
Ethernet, or USB 2.0 ports. Additionally,
data can be copied to disk, using the 8X
double layer DVD +–R/RW drive.
Flexible Architecture
Pentek’s multiband recorder system provides
a flexible architecture that is easily
customized to meet the user’s needs. Multiple
RAID levels, including 0, 1, 5, 6, 10
and 50, provide a choice for the level of
redundancy that’s required. Total drive
capacity is 5 terabytes using ten drives.
The system supports simultaneous recording
of one or two wideband A/Ds or
multiband DDC channels. Two analog outputs
allow recorded signals to be reproduced
as either two baseband signals or one
upconverted IF signal. With its wide range
of programmable decimation and interpolation,
the system supports signal bandwidths
from 8 kHz to 60 MHz.
