TELEMETRIX 500 IF DIGITIZER AND RECORDER (T500RX-IF)
OVERVIEW
 The RT Logic Telemetrix® 500 IF Digitizer and Recorder (T500RXIF) is a high-performance, real-time, high-rate intermediate frequency (IF) digitizer system designed to digitize, record and distribute raw IF data.

The T500RX-IF supports recording and playback rates of over 1 GB per second, internal/external Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID)-based disk storage systems, and optional tape media.

APPLICATION
 The T500RX-IF accurately digitizes and captures raw IF signals at either 70 MHz or 1.2 GHz, and offers IP forwarding of digitized IF data using the VITA Radio Transport (VRT) network protocol or other selectable network protocols, such as Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM), UDP, and TCP. Using software radio technology, the T500RX-IF captures and preserves link data as close to the antenna as possible, and provides post analysis capabilities for anomalies and situational awareness.
ARCHITECTURE
 The T500RX-IF features dynamically reconfigurable algorithms and a wide range of optional capabilities from across our T500 line of products. The flexible serverbased architecture of the T500RX-IF maximizes channel density and scalability, while supporting your choice of peripherals. The T500RX-IF is customizable to meet your specific requirements.
