"The software provides powerful signal analysis and signal processing functions running on a Windows PC," explains the company.

The detect, search and classify application provides a fully automatic mode to monitor a frequency range, detect all signals of interest, classify, demodulate, decode these signals and store the results for later processing, Rohde & Schwarz says. Signal data (digital IF) can be recorded on the computer hard disk or on external AMREC devices.

Further information about this procurement is available from Tracey Harriot, a contract specialist, at 202-475-3779 or tracey.b.harriot@uscg.mil, says a special notice published by the Coast Guard on September 19.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
