Communication signals evolve as new demands, applications, and wireless standards emerge. The wider bandwidth, highly complex, and low power signal characteristics are more challenging to find, identify, and geolocate. RFeye Nodes are state-of-the-art superheterodyne receivers designed to support military and commercial applications without location, physical, or infrastructure constraints.
CRFS’ fourth-generation high-performance RF sensor has in-built edge processing that reduces the bandwidth of backhaul data. Excellent phase noise, low noise figure, and superb spurious free dynamic range coupled with FPGA technology and card design, enable easy integration and exploitation of the SDR and computer platform. Multiple users have multi-mission capability and can efficiently manage EMSO operations with a single Node—or seamlessly interact with a network of Nodes.

RFeye Nodes quickly sweep from 9 kHz to 40 GHz and have a high probability of intercept. There are 8, 18, and 40 GHz options, all with 100 MHz IBW, as well as an entry-level 40 MHz IBW option.
RFeye Nodes can be deployed on masts, tripods, within building ceiling tiles, and as drone payloads. These sensors are used in all CRFS deployments (fixed, mobile, tactical, and in-field).
Designed for outdoor deployment in extreme environments, RFeye Nodes operate between -30°C – +55°C.
CRFS hardware works with a software suite to monitor, capture, analyze, and geolocate signals of interest for complete spectrum visibility.
