Cassandra TM9M

Purpose:
The Cassandra TM9K system is designed for 24/7 continuous RF monitoring of facilities, detecting unauthorized transmissions—including those using complex concealment algorithms—and analyzing digital communication standards. The system can also function as an IQ recorder with a capture bandwidth of up to 32 MHz.
Functionality:
  • Conducts real-time spectrum monitoring across its operational frequency range
  • Saves spectrum panoramas, individual signal spectra, and key RF parameters of detected signals to a computer
  • Supports signal recording and post-processing
Network Operation:
  • Multi-system integration: Two or more units can form a unified monitoring network with a central control station
  • Centralized management: Operational data from all units is aggregated on the control PC via I_RemoteCheck software, displaying:
  • Signal detections
  • System status (power on/off alerts)
  • Comparative spectrum analysis between units (requires RT-Group option)
(Technical translation optimized for clarity while preserving key terminology like "IQ recorder" and "RF parameters.")
Need adjustments for:
  • Military/NATO terminology?
  • Simplified version for marketing?
  • Additional technical specifications?
