The Lumistar LS-29-R2 is a high-fidelity RF waveform recording and playback system designed for electronic warfare (EW), signals intelligence (SIGINT), radar testing, and aeronautical telemetry processes. In addition, this advanced RF data recorder provides precise RF signal capture, storage, and reproduction for mission-critical Defence applications.
Key Features & Benefits of the RF Waveform Recorder & Playback System
- Wideband RF Recording & Playback – Capture and reproduce up to 200MHz of RF spectrum from 200MHz to 6GHz, covering key Defence bands including L, S, and C bands.
- Multi-Channel Support – Available in 2-channel and 4-channel configurations, with redundant dual-channel architecture for increased reliability.
- IRIG-106 Aeronautical Telemetry Support – Fully compatible with IRIG-106 Chapter 4 & 10, IRIG-18 standards, making it ideal for Defence telemetry applications.
- Advanced Signal Demodulation & Streaming – Supports real-time demodulation of RF signals with TTL & RS-422 PCM clock/data outputs and Gigabit Ethernet streaming for post-mission analysis.
- Software-Defined Flexibility – Configurable for custom RF bands and variable recording bandwidths for different mission requirements.
- High-Performance Storage & Scalability – 8TB removable SSD per two channels, allowing up to 312 minutes of max bandwidth recording (scalable for longer durations at lower bandwidths).
- Mission-Ready Hardware – Housed in a rugged 2U rack-mount system, with universal AC power input (100-240V) for deployment in demanding environments.
Optimised for Defence & Military Applications
Electronic Warfare (EW) Testing – Record and replay RF signals for jamming, deception, and countermeasure development.
Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) & RF Surveillance – Used in RF signal analysis workflows for intelligence gathering, signal monitoring, and tactical analysis.
Radar & Tactical Communication Systems – Test airborne, naval, and ground-based radar and communication links under real-world conditions.
Flight Test Telemetry & Range Applications – Support for IRIG-106-compliant aeronautical telemetry with precise timestamping and captures RF waveforms for later reproduction and demodulation.
