Overview
R&S®CA250 is bitstream analysis software for analyzing and manipulating demodulated signals of unknown coding at bitstream and symbol stream level, to obtain technical data about the type and content of a signal. Key specifications include data import and representation in a wide range of symbol stream and bitstream formats, and versatile bitstream analysis and bit manipulation functions. Features include a broad analysis toolset with autocorrelation, cross-correlation, configurable pattern search and entropy tests, and automatic detection of convolutional, Reed-Solomon and BCH codes together with decoding methods such as Viterbi and CRC. R&S®CA250 is R&S radiomonitoring / signal analysis software that automates signal analysis, demodulation and intelligence production. KanTek can help with a supply assessment, model selection and system integration.
