Key facts
Compact and extremely precise
The R&S®MP007 direction finding system is based on the R&S®DDF007 portable direction finder or R&S®PR200 portable monitoring receiver in combination with the R&S®ADDx07 compact DF antennas. The result is a unique combination of functionality and performance in a system of this size. It can be used as a stationary or mobile DF station or as a portable manual direction finder, and can be reconfigured within minutes to meet the requirements of the current situation.
The R&S®MP007 comes with a wide range of powerful software options and add-ons, making it an excellent choice for all applications that call for a compact and flexible yet powerful DF system.
All of the system components are integrated into a rugged, sealed hard shell case to withstand challenging environments and weather conditions.
Stationary operation of the system is possible in situations where it is necessary to temporarily monitor a specific area. The system is placed on the ground and fixed with guy ropes.
The R&S®MP007 can also be deployed on the march. The operator carries the backpack on his back and operates the system wireless via a small handheld PC or tablet.

When it is necessary to determine the exact location of an emission, multiple R&S®MP007 systems can be wirelessly connected to a radiolocation system.
In networked operation, one R&S®MP007 can be defined as the master station to remotely control the other stations. DF data is obtained by continuous queries (e.g. with WiMAX™ connections) or single queries (e.g. with tactical radio). The DF results reported by the stations are converted into locations by the master station and displayed on a map.

In the IF panorama mode, the R&S®MP007 fully displays signals up to a bandwidth of 40 MHz when operated with the R&S®PR200. The waterfall display can additionally be activated to visualize signal behavior versus time.
It can be equipped with the panorama scan option. This enables fast scanning at speeds of up to 44 GHz/s to obtain a quick spectrum overview.
Signals are demodulated with a bandwidth of up to 1 MHz and outputs them as I/Q data. The I/Q data is output via the ethernet interface to the signal analysis software.
The powerful R&S®CA100 PC‑based signal analysis and processing software, which runs on the control computer, can be used in receive mode to analyze, classify, demodulate and decode signals with different types of modulation.
The I/Q data is output via the radio direction finder's Ethernet interface to the PC running the signal analysis
software.
