Wide 10 kHz to 3 GHz Frequency Coverage
One of the major advantages of the Rohde Schwarz EB200 Miniport Receiver is its wide continuous tuning range from 10 kHz to 3 GHz. This allows the receiver to cover a broad spectrum of RF applications without requiring separate receivers for different frequency bands.
The EB200 can be used for monitoring signals across HF, VHF, and UHF ranges, making it suitable for professional RF surveillance, communications monitoring, interference investigations, and field measurements.
Professional RF Signal Monitoring
The Rohde Schwarz EB200 was designed as a professional receiver for demanding radio monitoring applications. Its receiver architecture incorporates filtering and preselection to reduce the effects of strong unwanted signals and improve overall interference rejection.
The receiver uses a sophisticated synthesizer with low phase noise and a fast tuning response. Documentation specifies a synthesizer setting time of ≤3 ms, supporting rapid frequency and memory scanning.
This makes the EB200 useful when users need to locate, monitor, or analyze RF signals across a broad frequency range.
Digital IF Selectable Bandwidths
The EB200 features a digital intermediate-frequency section with 12 selectable bandwidths ranging from 150 Hz to 150 kHz. These bandwidth options allow the receiver to be configured for different signal types and monitoring requirements.
Selectable bandwidths include:
- 150 Hz
- 300 Hz
- 600 Hz
- 1.5 kHz
- 2.4 kHz
- 6 kHz
- 9 kHz
- 15 kHz
- 30 kHz
- 50 kHz
- 120 kHz
- 150 kHz
The wide selection of IF bandwidths makes the EB200 suitable for both narrowband and wider RF signal monitoring applications.
Signal Demodulation
The Rohde Schwarz EB200 supports multiple demodulation modes, allowing users to work with a variety of analog and specialized signals.
Supported modes include:
- AM
- FM
- LSB
- USB
- CW
- PULSE
- I/Q
This flexibility makes the EB200 a useful tool for RF engineers and radio-monitoring professionals who need to investigate different types of transmitted signals.
Frequency Memory Scanning
The Rohde Schwarz EB200 supports both frequency scanning and memory scanning. These functions allow users to efficiently monitor predefined frequency ranges or stored channels.
Fast frequency switching combined with selectable scanning functions makes the receiver suitable for applications where multiple frequencies must be monitored or investigated.
Spectrum & IF Panorama Options
Depending on the configuration, the EB200 can provide additional signal-analysis functions including an optional frequency spectrum display and IF panorama display.
The panorama functionality can provide a visual representation of signals around the tuned frequency, helping users identify nearby transmissions and examine signal activity more efficiently.
Transmitter Detection & Direction Finding
The Rohde Schwarz EB200 Miniport Receiver can be combined with the Rohde Schwarz HE200 handheld directional antenna for locating nearby RF transmitters.
This combination is particularly useful for identifying and locating unwanted or unlicensed transmitters and for close-range to medium-range RF signal investigations.
Potential applications include:
- RF interference investigation
- Transmitter detection
- Unlicensed transmitter identification
- Radio monitoring
- Signal source location
- Field-strength measurements
- Wireless communications investigations
Remote Control
The EB200 can be operated remotely using its communication interfaces. The standard configuration provides RS-232C while a LAN/Ethernet 10Base-T option was also available.
Remote control can be useful for fixed installations, automated measurements, laboratory applications, and monitoring systems where the receiver needs to be controlled from an external computer.
Portable Design
The Rohde Schwarz EB200 Miniport Receiver was designed for portable use while also supporting stationary applications. The receiver measures approximately 210 × 88 × 270 mm and weighs about 4 kg without the battery pack.
Power can be supplied through a battery pack or external DC power, making the EB200 suitable for field measurements as well as laboratory and fixed monitoring installations.
