Antennas Control System

SIROKO

The "SIROKO" Antenna Control System enables the connection of signals from various antennas to the inputs of measuring and receiving devices such as: measuring and radio receivers, radio direction finders, spectrum analysers or a TV receiver computer card. SIROKO enables the independent set-up of 2 signal paths.

Standardly, there is the possibility of connecting 8 antennas and 4 measuring or receiving devices. This configuration can be adapted to customer needs.

SIROKO can be used in radiocommunication systems where high-frequency signals from various antennas must be switched to appropriate receivers (measuring devices, radio direction finders, etc.) depending on the tasks the system is to perform.

SIROKO has found application in the automatic radio spectrum monitoring system of the Electronic Communications Office.
