06.05.2013 X-COM Systems IQC5000A Series, Spectrum Capture and Playback System is the smallest, lightest, best-performing system available for the capture and playback of RF and microwave signals for mission-critical applications. Weighing less than 10 lb. and measuring only 12 x 3.5 x 10.5 in., the IQC5000A Series system can record and play back one or two independent channels of signal activity up to 160 MHz in bandwidth from HF through millimeter wavelengths.
The system's integrated data storage of up to 2 Tbytes and support for external 16 Tbyte datapacks gives users up to 6 hours of captured data at full bandwidth, and operation from 120/240 VAC or 12 VDC makes the IQC5000A Series equally suited for laboratory, production, or field applications.
