Keysight/Agilent E3238S Signal Intercept and Collection System
The E3238S Signal Intercept and Collection System from Keysight/Agilent delivers spectrum acquisition capabilities through high speed stepped FFT processing. It supports rapid interception across electronic observation domains. The wideband stepped FFT architecture enables ultra fast spectral searches while maintaining consistent dynamic range performance continuously. The integrated Motorola G4 processors compute simultaneous FFT operations supporting sweep rates reaching 10 gigahertz every second.
The unit revisits targeted frequencies frequently for intercepting short duration transmissions. High resolution processing isolates weak emissions positioned closely beside powerful signals across crowded operational spectrums efficiently. The advanced dynamic range technology uncovers hidden transmissions in noisy environments without compromising frequency identification accuracy levels. Customized deployments for HF, VHF, UHF, and microwave monitoring operational requirements are precisely configured via hardware modules.
The system includes ADC components and tuners that need to be replaced when adapting systems towards alternative frequency monitoring missions. The core processing architecture is consistent across upgrades that minimizes disruption to operations and retains training investments. The scalable architecture enables compact survey operations and fully integrated interception and collection network infrastructures to run in parallel. Automated mission processing functions reduce repetitive operator interactions while accelerating daily workflow completion schedules for analysts.
The module leverages open programming features for greater interoperability and integration with existing intelligence collection infrastructure platforms. VXI and COTS components make deployments easy in different RF domains. The E3238S Signal Intercept and Collection System is capable of fulfilling a wide range of surveillance needs by employing multiple search modes such as F1, F2 directed search and stare operations. It also offers advanced energy threshold, level noise riding and environmental analysis for accurate transmission.
The built-in energy database contains detailed survey reference data which is permanently and safely stored. The HF, VHF and UHF options offer flexible monitoring options for specific regional communication. The coverage continues to expand to operational frequencies reaching towards 6 GHz with 36 MHz of processing bandwidth capabilities. The snapshot radio software allows for independent voice channels playing on networked computers via local infrastructure environments. Linguists can play back the archives of communication files without dedicated acquisition hardware from anywhere.
