707 Spectrum Monitoring Sensor
The TCI Model 707 is a complete spectrum
monitoring sensor designed and built to comply
with the recommendations of the ITU for spectrum
monitoring measurements. It can be used as a
single standalone sensor, or it may be configured
as part of a number of sensors, with each sensor
tasked from one or more client computers.
The 707 can optionally perform as a TDOA
sensor node as part of a hybrid AOA (Angle of
Arrival) and TDOA (Time Difference of Arrival)
precision geolocation system.
Perform remotely controlled
measurements in compliance
with ITU recommendations.
❯ Provides absolute frequency, bandwidth,
modulation depth, field strength and spectrum
