SIROKO


Antennas Control System

“SIROKO” Antennas Control System allows to interface signals from different antennas to inputs of measuring equipment and receivers, such as: radio and measuring receiver, radio detection finder, spectrum analyser or receiver card. 8 antennas and 4 measuring equipment or receivers may be connected as a standard. SIROKO allows for independent setting-up of 2 high frequency signal paths. Such configuration may be customize according to the customer requirements.

SIROKO may be implemented in radio Communications systems, where the high frequency signal from different antennas must be directed do appropriate receivers (measuring equipment, radio detection finders, etc.) depending on the tasks to be performed by the system.

SIROKO was implemented, among others, in the automated radio spectrum monitoring system in use by the Electronic Communication Agency.
