Innovative Multipoint Wireless Signal Analysis Solutions

The ThinkRF product line consists of a family of Real-Time Wireless Signal Analyzers (WSA's) and a Centralized Analysis System (CAS).    WSA’s are intelligent devices that can be distributed throughout locations such as enterprise environments, buildings and municipalities to create a multipoint network of analyzers.  A central server collects and processes data from multiple WSA's.

ThinkRF's Multipoint Real-Time Signal Analysis solution has the following key attributes:

 Signal Analysis

• Wideband signal detection, measurement and analysis
• Large dynamic and operating amplitude ranges.

Real-Time

• Intelligent event triggering
• Fast solid-state signal processing consistent with the capture bandwidth

Multipoint

• Distributed solution with simultaneous or user-defined timing based capture and analysis,
• Revolutionizes signal analysis by introducing spatial information in addition to frequency, amplitude and time.

Control and Configuration

• Remote WSA control and configuration from anywhere on the Internet.

Intuitive Data Visualization

• Time or frequency domain plots of streaming or captured data,
• Multiple WSA views.

ThinkRF WSA

A high-performance and very cost-effective signal analyzer with the following key attributes:

• Large dynamic range and wideband waveform processing capabilities,
• Excellent signal processing capability to minimize backhaul traffic on the IP network,
• Low power, compact and lightweight,
• Capable of un-manned remote operation,
• Efficiently addresses popular spectral bands such as Cellular, PCS and ISM.

CAS Software

Signal detection, pre-processing and analysis are all performed by the WSA.  The results are communicated to the CAS9000 software, residing on a PC or server, for centralized capture, post-processing and analysis.

The ThinkRF CAS family of Central Analysis Software provides:
 

• Continuous real-time simultaneous capture of multiple remote sensors,
• Centralized capture and analysis,
• Received Signal Strength Indication measurement, simulation calibration, waveform quality,
• Standalone data-logging and time-stamped networked snapshot,
• Evolution towards interference determination and dynamic network adaptation.

ThinkRF’s Unique Strengths & Benefits

The ThinkRF solution is unique in that the wireless signal detection and analysis is
physically separated from the user interface. This enables un-manned remote operation and
continuous analysis of a geographically distributed space.

Wireless spectrum capture and pre-processing is required within the remote WSA in order to achieve this physical separation. It is this intelligence and pre-processing that is unique, non-trivial, and presents a significant barrier to entry against all other solutions currently in the market.
