iQ2 Signal Processor

The most innovative integrated receiver/signal processor configuration on the market.

The IQ2-RSP employs cutting edge hardware and software technology to achieve the highest weather radar data resolution and system control accuracy.

The IFD supports Digital Automatic Frequency Control (DAFC). The frequency of the IF is no longer controlled by adjusting the STALO frequency, the input frequency of the 4-data channels is now adjusted to match the IF frequency while supporting traditional AFC control.

IQ2 - Intermediate Frequency Digitizer
