SR2200 professional "black box" communications receiver

compact high performance "black box" receiver for professional applications 
under computer control (USB / RS232) 25MHz - 3 GHz

SR2200 front panel

SR2200 rear panel

The SR2200 is a black box wide band receiver intended for commercial / government applications.  The frequency range is 25 MHz to 3 GHz. The receiver has no front panel, it is controlled by connection to a computer via an RS232 serial and USB rear panel sockets.

Development of the SR2200 is still on-going, small quantities are available but are non CE approval at present... so export and COTS supply (Commercial Off The Shelf) to commercial and government organisations.


Connectivity

At the rear of the unit, there is a BNC connector for the antenna, USB and serial control ports, 10.7 MHz I.F. OUT (to connect for example the SDU5600 Spectrum analyzer), external speaker out, phones out, power and a ACC data output interface (discriminator & sound output).

On the front of the unit, there is a connector labelled “Display”. This connector can be used for testing the SR2200 without the need of a PC, and as an extension for future developments.


The SR2200 black box receiver has many advantages over conventional receivers...

Small size and low weight

 High sensitivity

 High dynamic range

 Availability of additional software functions (control software is currently under development).

   The SR2200 (PC) front-panel functions are more flexible and powerful than those of traditional radio. There simply is not enough physical space on a fixed front panel of a traditional receiver for the multitude of settings and options which are available on the SR2200 black box receiver.

 Mobile applications: PC-controlled receivers are often used in mobile and portable applications. Connected to a laptop computer, they represent an excellent alternative to conventional spectrum analyzers or other dedicated monitoring equipment.

         The processing power of a PC can be used to process received radio signals through third-party software.

 Firmware and control software is being continuously improved and new features are being introduced. (control software is currently under development).
