Spectrum Monitoring
MASS has a long history of research and development in the techniques of recording and analysis of the radio spectrum. This has led to a number of studies on behalf of the Radiocommunications Agency and Ofcom investigating man-made noise and interference in the radio spectrum.
Autonomous Interference Monitoring System (AIMS)
AIMS is the ideal system for measuring the quality of the spectrum over extended periods. It can be left completely unattended at any location for several days to gather detailed statistics on power and underlying interference levels.
- Spectrum quality measurements
- Spectrum usage measurements
- ITU-R (P.372) compliant external noise figure measurements
- Portable & low cost
- Automatic report generation (MS Word format)
- Automatic modulation recognition
- Trend analysis
- Graphical analysis software
- Automatic calibration
- Status reporting via SMS
Spectrum Surveys
MASS has surveyed the quality and usage of the radio spectrum at many sites around the UK. This experience has allowed us to tailor the AIMS functionality to meet the needs of both analysts and field operators.
- Site surveys
- Spectrum investigations
- Long-term monitoring and trend analysis
Research and Analysis
MASS staff have analysed many terabytes of data recorded over several years and have developed tools for extracting the relevant data from spectrum surveys.
- Spectrum trend analysis
- Interference and noise analysis
- Graphical software tools
- Real-time spectrum analysis
- High bandwidth recording
- Advanced digital signal processing
Modulation Recognition
MASS has developed SPEAR – a flexible and highly effective software tool that identifies communications and broadcast signals.
SPEAR runs on any Windows PC connected to a standard receiver or spectrum analyser. It can be reconfigured and re-trained by the user to recognise different modulations, making it a flexible solution that can be tailored to meet specific or evolving needs.
