R&S®EK896 VLF-HF Receiver
19" DSP-based receiver for radiomonitoring and detection, radiocommunication, master receiver for radio workstations
The compact and modular VLF-HF receivers are ideal for use in stationary, mobile and remote receiving systems. Due to the modern and flexible concept, the receivers can be used as communication receivers in communication networks and for fast search, scanning, radio detection and radiomonitoring tasks. Moreover, the units are optimally suitable as highperformance frontend units (e.g. for special post-processing applications (COMINT) as well as for DF systems.
The R&S® Series 890 VLF-HF Receivers use digital signal processing (DSP) for IF, demodulation and AF. The DSP, equipped with a very powerful microprocessor, offers a variety of additional features to the user such as automatic signal processing, signal optimization and high operating convenience. All this significantly improves the attainable reception quality.
The very compact ½ 19" single receivers or 19" (rackable) single or dual receivers allow any type of system combinations in the form of operator positions or handoff receivers (master-slave operation). Handoff or remote receiving operation over any distance is possible without any constraints using master (R&S EK896)/slave (R&S EK895) concepts.

The R&S® EK896 has especially been designed for complex tasks of radiodetection and search reception; its operating principle and configuration perfectly match the relevant requirements. It is fitted as standard with panel controls and LC display for local and remote-control operation since radiomonitoring practically always requires manual optimization of receive parameters.
High-speed and reliable radiomonitoring is supported by temporary storage of a complete receiver setup and its transfer to or readout from the connected slave. The R&S® EK896 is the optimal operator’s position in modern radiomonitoring systems. In the usual master-slave mode, a master receiver can control up to 99 slave receivers via additional line drivers to handle simultaneous radiomonitoring or specific radiodetection tasks. Due to its outstanding characteristics, the R&S® EK896 is also ideal for use as a standalone receiver. All R&S® EK895 options can be fitted.
