The MS-8323 Multichannel Telemetry Receiver System is suitable for reception, tracking and demodulating of FM radio signals of telemetry transmitters. The 8-channel system is easily scalable up to 72 simultaneous independent channels.

The high-performance receivers are highly tolerant to frequency drift, able to be used in telemetry applications where the transmitter frequency is prone to drifting, for example where the telemetry tramsmitters are operating under severe environmental conditions or are not crystal-controlled. The receiver hunts for the transmitter frequency within user-specified frequency range, at a predefined hunting rate. Once locked, each receiver tracks the drifting carrier over the predefined range. Using advanced low-noise DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis) facility, the frequency tracking adjustments cause only a minimal disruption to the received signal, not causing more than 0.5% noise (relative to output signal level). If a transmitter is lost, the receiver will automatically commence hunting.

The unit is capable of unattended operation and, when used with the Remote Monitoring Option software, it can be operated remotely.

Receivers

Well proven WiNRADiO card-based receivers are at the heart of the WiNRADiO MS-8323 system. Each card contains a high-performance FM receiver with excellent dynamic range and sensitivity, designed to operate in the harsh electromagnetic environment existing inside a computer-based system, ideally suited for simultaneous multichannel operation. Each receiver has its own demodulated audio analog output which is adjustable to a required output level.

User interface

The MS-8323 software makes it possible for the user to control each individual receiver separately and observe its operational status, as well as set the system parameters for multichannel telemetry operations.

The MS-8323 Multichannel Telemetry Receiver System is shipped in a specially designed ruggedized 19" rack-mounted chassis with built-in shock absorbers, to ensure safe shipping. The unit can then be either removed from the enclosure, or operated from inside it. This is particularly useful for mobile operation.

For stationary applications, various rack-mount options are available, ranging from single-unit arrangements, to large-scale installations similar to that pictured on the right. For these, WiNRADiO provides complete turn-key solutions including antennas and antenna distribution units.
