The Avalon AE6043 is a GNSS receiver module which can receive and track multiple GNSS systems.
The module can be configured for concurrent GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou, plus SBAS and QZSS reception.
Converts an I.F. input (1GHz - 3GHz) to I/Q data pairs, streamed over a 10Gbit UDP/IP Ethernet link with a vita49 packet-defined payload.
Avalon AE3-series wide bandwidth microwave receivers are designed to accept a microwave input up to 26.5GHz; to provide fixed and user-controlled conditioning and conversion as desired; then to provide IF outputs and - optionally - demodulated outputs.
In common with our recorders, Avalon receivers are designed for a wide range of operating environments and platform applications, including: laboratory, road vehicle, field-portable, surface ships, submarines, and jet/turboprop ‘passenger’ aircraft.
They are available in standard or ruggedised 19" rack-mountable housings, VPX form-factors, or ATR enclosures.
The new Avalon 0-40GHz front-end module is designed to accept a microwave input in user-selectable bands of:
The external reference signal required by the module (1GHz) may be supplied by one of our reference clock modules, in which case the reference may be shared synchronously among multiple front-end modules to create a system suitable for coherent DF operations, ToA analysis, etc.
In common with other Avalon systems and modules, these modules are designed for a wide range of ‘platform’ applications including, laboratory, mobile, field-portable, surface ships, submarines, and jet/turboprop ‘passenger’ aircraft.
This module is scheduled for release in Q3 2023. A data sheet will be available in due course; please contact us for further details.
This new Avalon microwave I/Q recorder is designed to accept an RF input of up to 6GHz.
Bandwidths of up to 500MHz are supported.
The recorder provides real-time spectrum viewing or analysis, as well as long-duration recording onto an internal, fixed or removal disk pack. Data can also be uploaded in real-time to a remote storage system.
Recordings are stored as a series of fixed file-size ‘clusters’, each with a community-standard (Midas Blue) header and may optionally be played back via the I.F. output.
The recorder is supplied with a full-featured stand-alone graphical user interface (GUI) which can be run either on the recorder itself (with attached monitor, mouse, and keyboard), or on a remote laptop/PC (via Ethernet).
The GUI can be compiled to run under most popular operating systems, including Debian, Windows, etc.).
In common with all Avalon recorders, the AE6410-series recorders are designed for a wide range of ‘platform’ applications including, laboratory, mobile, field-portable, surface ships, submarines, and jet/turboprop ‘passenger’ aircraft.
The Avalon Electronics AE2001 Serial FPDP Recorder provides users looking to record and playback multiple sFPDP streams with a complete turn-key recording system, which is fully compatible with the VITA 17.1 specification.
Up to 4 sFPDP, user configurable channels can be recorded or played simultaneously, with a maximum aggregated recording rate of 1600MB/sec. A standard QSPF socket is provided for connection to the 4 serial lanes.
The recorder is controlled via an intuitive GUI, allowing the user to configure each channel independently.
Parameters are entered for each channel, specifying: Flow Control; CRC; Copy/Loop - modes of operation. All parameters contain limit checking for an easy to use, straight out of the box user experience.
The Recorder may be controlled locally or remotely using either an Avalon-developed Windows-based application, or by using the Avalon Command and Control message set. External control is via the recorder’s 1Gb Ethernet control port. The Avalon Application can be compiled to operate under a range of Windows and Linux operating systems.
The Avalon Application can control all recorder functions, including: Record, Play, Interface Configuration Settings and Data Management.
The recorder is designed to be fitted into our new, AE1000-series 19” back-plane chassis and interface with our range of storage modules - but may also be used in stand-alone mode and store to any compatible, remote storage system via a 100GbE fibre-optic link.
Recorded data are stored in a Standard File Format allowing transcription and analysis to be readily undertaken using a range of available tools.
The Avalon Electronics AE2002 rugged, Ethernet SFP+ data recorder provides users looking to record and playback multiple 10 Gigabit Ethernet streams with a complete turn-key recording system, which is compatible with the IEEE 802.3-2008 Ethernet Standard.
Up to two, 10-Gigabit Ethernet user configurable channels can be recorded or played simultaneously, with an aggregated recording rate of up to 1600MB/sec. A standard SFP+ socket is provided for optical or copper connection to the two Ethernet channels.
The recorder is controlled via an intuitive GUI allowing the user to configure each channel independently.
Parameters are entered for each channel specifying MAC Address, Frame Address Types, CRC Checking, Preamble Control. All parameters contain limit checking for an easy-to-use, straight out of the box user experience.

The New Avalon AE9020 snapshot SIGINT data recorder in a rugged, full-width, 2U enclosure, is designed to record a 3.0 GHz analogue I.F. signal at a bandwidth of up to 2.0 GHz for several seconds before transferring the captured data to storage. The user can define a pre-trigger period which allows the signal of interest to be fully captured.
The recorder converts and processes 3.0 GHz analogue IF signals with up to 2.0 GHz Bandwidth. It also contains the digital processing electronics required to store and recover digital data recorded to external storage. The rear panel allows access to stored data and live data streams via the 100GbE, MTP/MPO, fibre-optic connectors or the QSFP28 port.
The recorder is also able to reconstruct the recorded digital samples and replay these in their original analogue form. With the recorder in record or standby modes, the output signal is derived from the record input signal. During playback, the output signal is derived from stored data.

This system is also available in componentized (modular) format - to suit VPX or 19" systems.
Unlike some previous generations of Avalon data recorders, the AE9020 records data in a standard computer file format, thereby dramatically simplifying the selection and copying of critical sections of recorded data.
The New Avalon AE92000 seires of I/Q data recorders suit a wide range of applications, including SIGINT, EW, Astrophysics; in fact anywhere that reliable and high performance data collection is required.
The recorders can be preconfigured to accept signals on a centre frequency up to 6GHz, with real-time bandwidths up to 1GHz. They contain the digital processing electronics required to store and recover digital data recorded to/from internal (hot-swappable) or external storage. The rear panel allows access to stored data and live data streams via the 10Gb Ethernet port.
The recorder is also able to reconstruct the recorded digital samples and output these in their original analogue form. With the recorder in record or standby modes, the output signal is derived from the record input signal. During playback, the output signal is derived from stored data.
Standard models are available in half- or full-width, rugged 19" enclosures.

The Avalon Electronics AE9000-8IF SIGINT Data Recorder is a self-contained unit, designed to record, reproduce and export eight channels of 21.4 MHz IF wideband signals at 3 MHz recording bandwidth per channel. The recording resolution is 8- or 16-bits (user-selectable). The unit’s hot-swappable 16 TB disk crate (SSD as standard) is able to store up to 40 hours of mission data in 8 channel x 3 MHz (8-bit) recording mode.
The primary means of local control is by means of a monitor, mouse and keyboard attached to the recorder’s rear panel. The unit can also be controlled remotely.
As with all Avalon SIGINT analogue recorders, the AE9000-8IF incorporates high-precision anti-alias input filtering and advanced, custom-designed analogue-to-digital conversion techniques in order to provide the signal quality required by critical applications such as LPI (low probability of intercept) and SEI (specific emitter identification). IF signals are down-converted to the selected recording bandwidth using fast digital signal processing (DSP) techniques and recorded as IQ (complex) pairs of samples for easy up-conversion during replay.
In addition to normal analogue replay, recorded data can be exported in digital form directly to an analysis computer via a 10Gb LAN, or to a USB3 portable storage device.
