Key facts
R&S®CA120 is a flexible and automatic multichannel solution for detecting, classifying and processing radiocommunications signals (demodulation, content decoding). R&S®CA120 supports a wide range of applications from manual signal processing and analysis of individual signals to fully automated AI-based recognition and processing of signals in wideband signal scenarios. Multiple signals and wideband signal scenarios can be simultaneously recorded as digital I/Q data and reprocessed during subsequent replay.
Spare operators routine work
When encountering unknown signals, R&S®CA120 provides users with a powerful classifier to automatically detect and recognize modulation type and transmission system. While monitoring, the classifier can detect known signal types and will report any signals that it does not recognize as "unknown".

Online analysis of hopper signal scenarios
R&S®CA120 features a powerful detector for short-time signals in the HF and VHF/UHF frequency ranges. The detected short-time signals are automatically analyzed, sorted and matched to transmission system profiles and can be recombined to a continuous signal.

HF AI-based signal detection and HF/VHF/UHF high speed spectral shape search
The AI-based signal detection improves automatic HF signal detection (using AI based deep learning technology) – especially of analog signals like SSB (single side band) or AM (amplitude modulation) and colliding signals in dense scenarios. The spectral shape detector is designed to search for known and unknown signals with spectral pattern matching. The detector is very fast and can be customized when searching for user-specified signals of interest.

Automatic signal processing for reduced user workload
R&S®CA120 combines signal detection with configurable, rule-based, loss-free automatic processing of communications signals (classification, demodulation, decoding, content recovery, recording).
User-specific expansions
R&S®CA120 enables integration of user-programmed modules for signal processing (receiver driver, demodulator, decoder). Users can independently deploy their expertise in solutions. R&S®CA120 is available as a programmable sensor subsystem for system integrators with access to all functions, including detection of fixed frequency and short-time signals, spectral shape detection, classification, demodulation, decoding and recording.
