ARGAMAK-RS
Measuring Radio Receiver (Protected Design)
Purpose:
ARGAMAK-RS Measuring Radio Receiver (Protected Design) is intended for search, detection, identification, recording, demodulation, spectrum and technical analysis of radio signals within HF, VHF, UHF and SHF ranges, measurement of field strength and signals parameters, being a part of fixed, transportable and manpack systems, as well as for localization of radio emission sources when joint operation of several systems, including operation as a part of automated spectrum monitoring systems (ARMADA, AREAL etc.).
