RADIO DIRECTION FINDING RECEIVERS AND BEARING PROCESSORS
RDF Products offers both self-contained radio
direction finding receivers as well as DF bearing processors that are intended to be used
with user-supplied host receivers:
![]() | DFP-1000B - The DFP-1000B is a DF processor/display unit that, in conjunction with an appropriate RDF Products DF antenna, economically adds radio direction finding capability to almost any receiver (via a 10.7 MHz or custom IF signal interface). This receiver can be one already owned by the customer, or one of the readily available high-quality low-cost consumer-market communications receivers. The DFP-1000B incorporates a real-time polar TFT bearing display (essential for mobile tracking and homing radio direction finding missions). The unit also features full RS-232 remote control capability. |
![]() | DFP-1010B - The DFP-1010B is a "radio direction finding engine" similar to the DFP-1000B but has no operating controls or indicators and is operated instead by a host computer via RS-232 data link. Like the DFP-1000B, the DFP-1010B connects to the host receiver via a 10.7 MHz or custom IF signal interface. |
![]() | DFR-1000B - The DFR-1000B is a self-contained, compact, easy-to-operate wideband VHF/UHF radio direction finding receiver with a real-time polar TFT bearing display (essential for mobile tracking and homing radio direction finding missions). This unit is ideal for land-mobile and airborne radio direction finding missions where both compactness and wide frequency coverage are important. |
![]() | DFR-2300B - The DFR-2300B is a self-contained, compact, easy-to-operate wideband HF/VHF/UHF radio direction finding receiver with a real-time polar TFT bearing display (essential for mobile tracking and homing radio direction finding missions). This unit employs the AR2300 premium "black-box" computer-operated surveillance-quality receiver for a full-featured high-performance DF system in a footprint small enough even for mobile applications. |
![]() | DFR-5001B - The DFR-5001B is a self-contained, compact, easy-to-operate wideband HF/VHF/UHF radio direction finding receiver with a real-time polar TFT bearing display (essential for mobile tracking and homing radio direction finding missions). This unit employs the AR5001D premium surveillance-quality receiver for a full-featured high-performance DF system in a footprint small enough even for mobile applications. |
![]() | DFR-8500B - The DFR-8500B is a self-contained, compact, easy-to-operate wideband HF/VHF/UHF radio direction finding receiver with a real-time polar TFT bearing display (essential for mobile tracking and homing radio direction finding missions). This unit employs the R8500 premium communications receiver for a full-featured high-performance DF system in a footprint small enough even for mobile applications. |
