Quadsat has launched QS RF Locator, a new product that geolocates RF signals to a precise location. Using its existing testing and measurement technology to enable close inspection, this latest product will enable the commercial and military satellite communications industries to quickly and efficiently detect and locate sources of interference.
QS RF Locator enables last-mile geolocation. It can be used in conjunction with existing geolocation solutions that narrow down the interference to a wide area, often up to several hundred kilometers squared. Its interference hunting algorithms scan the radio spectrum with the Quadsat payload. As it takes more measurements, it is able to find the precise location of the signal.
The feature is available as part of the Quadsat system, a compact antenna testing and calibration solution that can be used to test and verify antennas and radio frequency equipment in situ.
Lars Bach, Chief Technology Officer, Quadsat, commented: “Interference can be extremely harmful, causing downtime and potential loss of revenue. Geolocation has been proven to be effective, however, current methods are exceptionally time-consuming. By using the drone, we are able to precisely locate the source much quicker than existing alternatives, enabling our customers to resolve the issues in record time.”
The Quadsat team will be attending Cabsat from 13th to 15th May and available to give more information.
