Pentek's Talon® high-speed real-time recording systems are designed to satisfy the requests of engineers and program managers looking for complete system solutions. And with Pentek's SystemFlow's® signal viewer and analysis tools, it couldn't be simpler. You can download the free SystemFlow® Simulator to your desktop or laptop PC. The ArchiTek™ FPGA Development Suite allows FPGA design engineers to add custom IP to a number of Pentek's Talon recording systems. FPGA IP can be added to the recorder to provide real-time, on-the-fly digital signal processing during the data acquisition process, greatly reducing the time associated with post-processing recorded data. ArchiTek provides a simple development environment that allows engineers to add FPGA IP such as threshold detection, spectral filtering, digital downconversion, demodulation or any other digital signal processing technique required. The Sentinel™ intelligent tracking and recording software includes a scan facility that allows the user to search for signals of interest throughout the entire user-specified spectrum. The Sentinel RF signal intelligence software is provided with control facilities available in the GUI and API. Pentek's unique QuickPac® drive solution, included with the Talon RTX Extreme series, allows users to remove and replace large volumes of data storage with minimum down time. The Talon Product Comparison Chart, RF/IF Signal Recorder Selector and Digital Signal Recorder Selector provide an excellent starting point to help narrow down the appropriate Talon Recording System for your application. Talon recorders come with free lifetime email and phone support. Let our system engineers customize the perfect system for your specific needs, click here for our recording system questionnaire. |
Talon Portable Systems are available in a small briefcase-sized enclosure with an integral LCD display and keyboard. Pentek's family of portable high-speed recording systems are designed for mobility and flexibility, where size and weight is of paramount importance. These powerful systems are ideal for real-time digital signal acquisition and processing, software radio, and wideband signal recording and playback on the go.

Talon Small Form Factor SystemsThe high performance SFF (small form factor) recorder product line optimized for SWaP (size, weight and power) provides the performance and storage capacity previously only possible in much larger rack-mountable products. Pentek's Talon SFF recording and playback systems are capable of streaming data to disk in real time using an integrated high-speed RAID controller coupled with enterprise class SSDs for hours of data capture in a variety of environments. All Talon recorders include Pentek's SystemFlow® recording software which includes signal viewing and analysis tools so the user can monitor input signals signal prior to, during, and after a recording session.

Development Tactics and Techniques for Small Form Factor RF Signal Recorders white paper describes engineering considerations and design techniques used to develop small form factor rugged recorders that can handle extremely high data rates associated with very wide bandwidth RF signal recording. It is intended to provide engineers with ideas on how to bring this capability into confined and often extreme environments while focusing on military specification compliance, SWaP and ease of use with confidence. |
