Perseus SDR HF Receiver

Hoka Electronic B.V. (Hoka Electronic)

PERSEUS is a VLF-LF-HF receiver made by Microtelecom is based on a outstanding direct sampling digital architecture. It features a 14 bit 80 Ms/s analog-to-digital converter with an exceptional 76 dB SNR (BW = 40 MHz), an high-performance configurable FPGA digital down-converter with an up to 1 MS/s output sampling rate and a 480 MBit/s, high-speed USB 2.0 PC interface. Unlike in lower class direct sampling receivers, the PERSEUS RF analog front-end has been carefully designed for the most demanding users and includes a 0-30 dB, 10 dB steps attenuator, a low-loss 10 bands pass-band RF preselector filters bank, and an high dynamic preamplifier with a top-class input third-order Intercept Point of more than 30 dBm. The resulting third-order dynamic range is 103 dB for SSB signals (2.4 KHz BW) and 107 dB for CW signals (500 Hz BW).
