The RFeye StormCase from CRFS is a man-portable integrated system designed for easy mobile spectrum monitoring from a fully autonomous and ruggedized stand-alone unit that operates from 9 kHz to 18 GHz. It incorporates an RFeye Node 100-8 or 100-18, internal and external antenna ports, high-performance hot-swappable rechargeable MIL-SPEC battery and integrated 512 GB SSD memory for high-volume data collection during mobile field operations.
The RFeye Stormcase can operate in a ‘headless’ mode which allows signal experts to configure missions in advance either directly connected to the unit or remotely. It can be networked along with other nodes and managed remotely allowing for remote operation to provide real-time data from any part of an operational area. The backhaul can be wired or delivered via a wireless network. The unit can also be controlled directly through a laptop to respond quickly to any changes in monitoring plans.
This system is designed for easy mobile spectrum monitoring from a fully autonomous and ruggedized stand-alone unit. It has a sweep speed of up to 390 GHz/s (at 2 MHz RBW), a sampling resolution of 16 bits per channel (I&Q), and a sampling rate of 125 MS/s.
The RFeye Stormcase provides 3 antenna ports (user-selectable) for use across wide frequency ranges with IP67-rated weatherproof connections and also includes a built-in GPS antenna. It also supports GPS holdover allowing it to operate in GPS-denied environments. It comes with an internal standard military Li-ion, hot-swappable battery (5 hours nominal operations), and consumes less than 65 W of power. External mains supply, battery, or wind/solar are all supported via a weather-proof locking connectors.
This spectrum surveillance, interference hunting, and RF monitoring system is available in an IP55-rated portable enclosure that measures 490 x 390 x 230 mm and weighs 14 Kg with N-type connectors.
