The Australian manufacturer WiNRADiO, well known for their pioneering work in the<\/p>\n

field of software-defined radios, will be showing their latest new product development,\u00a0the WR-G35DDCi, also called \u201cExcalibur Pro WB\u201d, as a world\u2019s first at this year\u2019s\u00a0Ham Radio show in Friedrichshafen, Germany. This direct-sampling shortwave
\nreceiver with a tuning range from 9 kHz to 45 MHz boasts a real-time processing\u00a0bandwidth of 32 MHz, the world\u2019s widest for a receiver of this class. This is further\u00a0matched by other excellent parameters such as high frequency stability (0.5 ppm),
\nsuperior dynamic range (107 dB), excellent sensitivity (0.10 ?V) and very high IP3\u00a0(+31 dBm). Also on offer is a 45 MHz wide real-time spectrum analyser with waterfall\u00a0display.<\/p>\n

The \u201cExcalibur Pro WB\u201d comes as a PCI-e card, which is fully shielded for operation\u00a0inside a computer, and employs a high-grade 16-bit 100 MSPS analog-to-digital\u00a0converter, together with highly integrated FPGA circuitry. This combination enables
\nthe WR-G35DDCi receiver to perform exceptionally well across an extremely wide\u00a0range of signal levels and at the same time offer an instantaneous bandwidth of 32\u00a0MHz. The user can therefore continually process, record and replay the entire
\nshortwave band in real-time. The receiver\u2019s robust front-end is equipped with an ultrahigh\u00a0linearity amplifier which offers exceptional strong signal performance. This is\u00a0further optimized by a switchable low-noise preamplifier together with a configurable\u00a0multi-band pre-selector.<\/p>\n

By employing innovative direct-sampling digital down-converter techniques and a\u00a0choice of leading-edge components and design concepts, the WR-G35DDCi\u00a0introduces numerous special features that are usually not available with other
\nreceivers, irrespective of their price, including a suite of \u00a0measurement and test\u00a0functions. There is also an external reference clock input and a FPGA interface bus\u00a0provided, which allows this receiver to be used in advanced phase-coherent multichannel\u00a0systems.<\/p>\n

Amongst other special features, there are three demodulator channels, ranging in\u00a0bandwidth from 1 Hz to 64 kHz each, which can operate concurrently within the\u00a032 MHz wide DDC bandwidth. This allows independent and simultaneous
\ndemodulation, recording and further digital processing within each demodulator,\u00a0offering in essence three fully-fledged HF receivers within the one unit.<\/p>\n

The WiNRADiO WR-G35DDCi will be available after the Ham Radio show, at a\u00a0recommended sales price of Euro 4,197.50, plus any applicable local sales taxes.<\/strong><\/p>\n
