The Array 300 is a spectrum monitoring and direction-finding system for mobile or fixed deployment. It provides 100 MHz IBW and is available in three different receiver configurations, offering spectrum monitoring up to 8, 18, or 40 GHz. Each Array contains two RFeye Nodes to allow users to carry out multiple missions simultaneously. These RF sensors are closely connected to the antennas for maximum sensitivity.
The Array 300 uses a unique multi-layer approach that is more sophisticated and versatile than traditional direction finding. It uses the Watson-Watt methodology for signals between 20 MHz and 300 MHz in addition to high-performance directional spiral antennas that reject interference and multipath and are optimized for different frequency bands. These spiral antennas are sensitive to most incoming signal polarizations, including all linear polarizations. This means the Array 300 can detect signals that are invisible to most DF systems. Also, the Array’s timing and synchronization features enable combined PoA, AoA, and TDoA techniques, allowing all signal types in the range to be mapped, irrespective of signal power, bandwidth, or frequency.
