AR5001D

Price: $4,699.00
AR5001D 40kHz – 3.15GHz PROFESSIONAL GRADE Communications Receiver

The AR5001D from AOR is the most versatile Communications Receiver ever, since the release of a legendary AR5000 receiver!

With ultra-wide frequency coverage and a host of operating features hatched by an advanced digital signal processing technology, you’ll be on top of the monitoring action with the AR5001D Super Wide Range

Continuous frequency coverage: 40 kHz to 3.15 GHz in 1 Hz step with 1ppm frequency accuracy.

Frequency accuracy can be optimized to 0.01ppm with an optional GPSreceiver

Multi-Mode reception

High performance digital signal processing circuitry offers variety of reception modes as well as decoding options.

Receiving mode includes USB/LSB, CW, AM, SAM, FM, Wide FM and FM stereo.

The decoding modes include CTCSS, DCS, DTMF and APCO P-25 by an optional P-25 decoder.

High-Performance analog front-end
The RF front-end is carefully designed by CAD to obtain optimum performance across the
entire frequency range of 40kHz to 3.15GHz.

Direct Sampling Architecture (40 kHz . 25 MHz)

The AR5001D employs 14bit/65Ms/s direct sampling receiver architecture for VLF, LF and HF band.

The direct sampling architecture assures high IMD and IP3 characteristics.

Digital Signal Processing
The 45.05MHz IF signal is processed by the independent signal processor for signal
demodulation and recovery.

No AGC circuitry is used in the analog stage to ensure accurate
level reading as well as to offer IF output signal level linearity against RF input signal.

FFT Signal Analyzer

The AR5001D employs FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) signal analyzer that displays 400kHz
to 10MHz in 100kHz increment of spectrum to monitor the band activity or detect unidentified signals instantaneously.

Wideband IF output (25MHz to 3.15GHz)

A 45.05MHz of IF analog output signal with 15MHz bandwidth is provided for external peripherals when using the AR5001D receiver for front-end.

The optional I/Q output board
with USB2.0 interface is available to access AR5001D’s I/Q data for spectrum recording and playback by a PC.

High accuracy reference frequency
The AR5001D is capable of using GPS pulse signal for an accurate time base for the local oscillator circuit. 0.01ppm frequency accuracy for the 10MHz internal master oscillator is obtained when synchronized to a GPS signal.

Simultaneous reception and monitoring

Simultaneous reception on HF (below 25MHz) and VHF-UHF (above 25MHz) frequencies
are possible. For frequencies above 25MHz, absolute dual-channel reception within ±5MHz
is possible. Thus, up to three channels can be monitored simultaneously.

Direct digital synthesizer (DDS) local oscillator

Direct digital synthesizer is employed for the 1st local oscillator that ensures fast frequency switching for memory channel scanning and limited band search operation.

SD Audio recorder

AR5001D is capable of recording demodulated audio signal directly to the built-in SD media recorder. Compact and readily available, SD memory cards are immune to vibrations and produce no mechanical noise, unlike motor-driven media such as tapes or discs.

The AR5001D can accommodate up to 32GB SDHC card, allowing up to 240 hours of total recoding time using PC compatible WAV format. The typical continuous recording time with 1GB SD card is about 8 hours. The recording time can be extended when squelch operation is employed.

Analogue VIDEO demodulation
Composite video output is provided to monitor FM modulated analogue type wireless security camera or frequency search operation for bug transmitters.

Optional APCO P-25 Digital Voice Decoder

APCO P-25 Digital Voice Decoder option is available for the demodulation of project 25
(P25) digital voice communication which are popular in North American for the government
and public safety communications.
Plug-in to the AR5001D
Approx. size 125 x 50mm

AF-IQ Output

A 12kHz IF output is provided for a PC sound card based SDR (software defined radio) for
signal demodulation by the PC.

Typical application includes the reception of DRM (Digital
Radio Mondiale) broadcasts on HF frequencies.

Optional Digital I/Q board and PC software

When an optional I/Q interface board is installed, up to 1MHz of digital I/Q output can be
recorded to the hard drive of computers operating under Windows environment for later
playback and analysis without any loss of quality. This feature allows for unattended logging, signal classification and signal analysis.

PC Control software for Windows XP, VISAT and 7 is supplied with the board.
