Rack-Mount RDMS™

Take a 3-D Tour of the RM RDMS
At its core, the brand-new Rack-Mount RDMS™ Telemetry Receiver is an airborne RDMS repackaged, but that would not be doing this elegant machine justice. Featuring four high-quality color displays for configuration, control, and constellation / eye pattern monitoring, a full numeric keypad, dedicated function keys, a custom aluminum chassis, and an Ethernet-based remote client interface that simplifies operation - rather than muddy it - and it becomes apparent that this is no ordinary telemetry receiver.
Consider that most rack-mount telemetry receivers occupy 4U of rack space (or more), and weigh close to the equivalent of a boat anchor. In contrast, Quasonix' Rack-Mount RDMS weighs less than 10 pounds (in a dual-channel), occupies just 1U of rack space, and offers up to four channels of lower L, upper L, or S-band operation. It also offers an optional pre-detection diversity combiner, which is entirely digitally-implemented for superior signal fidelity. You can almost see the bit errors retreating in its wake.
Is this the new benchmark? We'll let you decide.
Rack-Mount RDMS Highlights
- Versatile Rack-mount Enclosure
- Custom 1U rack-mount chassis houses 1, 2, or as many as 4 complete receivers covering lower L, upper L, full S – or all three bands per channel.
- True Trellis Demodulation in all ARTM Modes
- Provides true trellis detection in all three ARTM modes for optimal demodulation.
- Optional diversity combiner
- Pre-detection diversity combiner offered with dual- and quad-channel configurations
- 6 to 8 dB Sensitivity Advantage
- A 3.5 dB noise figure coupled with superior multi-symbol trellis demodulation
