MUNIN 1005-IF
ELINT WIDEBAND RECORDER

– Offline spectrum analysis for maximal analysis coverage

– Repeatable lab tests for shorter time-to market

– Out-of-the-box experience for quickly getting results

The more information and signals that need to be analyzed the more difficult it is to perform real-time spectrum analysis. Analysis is limited by the available real-time functions and processing capacity. Further, the use of real-time spectrum analyzers is often limited by the internal memory for spectrum management.

Recording all information ensures that no fundamental information is lost, and all data can be reviewed and analyzed any time with e.g. complex analysis functions which would not be fast enough for real-time analysis. Also, as new analysis algorithms become available the same data can be used repeatedly to gain new insights.

Repeatable lab tests
For shorter time-to market

Running many field-tests can not only be very expensive but cost valuable time.

Recording real-world signals in different environments allows you to perform tests in the lab. This will not only reduce cost and valuable test time but potentially increase the test coverage and thus product quality.

Out-of-the-box experience
For quickly getting results

With our flexible architecture and modular hardware approach, we can quickly provide a recorder that meets your individual needs without spending a lot of development time and validation effort.

Gapless recording. MUNIN records all channels continuously without gaps which ensures correct post-processing or replay of the recorded data.

Long recording time.  MUNIN offers standard RAID configurations from 4TB to 96TB with industrial grade SSD disks. Dependent on the channel configuration you can continuously record data from minutes over hours to days. The storage capacity can be expanded beyond 96TB.

Pre-trigger buffering. MUNIN features a circular pre-trigger buffer to capture events which happened before the trigger. Dependent on the chosen buffer option and the selected real-time bandwidth it is possible to capture pre-trigger data from a few seconds to multiple minutes.

Remote control. Thanks to the server client architecture it is the operator’s freedom of choice to configure, monitor and control MUNIN locally or remotely. For remote handling you can use the built-in client application or use direct TCP/IP commands from your own developed application.

Open file format. The generated files are saved as binary files in an open file format called TDMS that can be opened by third-party software like MATLAB® for analysis. It is possible to add user-defined metadata to the standard metadata fields. Recording directly to custom file formats are available upon request.

Timestamping.  For accurate timekeeping you can synchronize the recorder with the built-in GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver. For improved timestamp accuracy below millisecond resolution we recommend using a PPS (Pulse Per Second) signal. As standard we support NTP (Network Time Protocol) to distribute the timing information among all modules on the server and client. We can add IRIB-B support on request.

Scalable. MUNIN allows you to mix and match multiple IF inputs with various real-time bandwidths and record to a single RAID controller or multiple RAID controllers in parallel.

Playback. You can use software playback to analyze the recorded data or to characterize the DUT. By adding a signal generator, recorded data can be played back continuously in real-time. Contact us for more information about hardware playback possibilities.
