ThinkRF R5700 Real-Time Signal Analyzer User Guide 7

Overview of the ThinkRF R5700

The R5700 Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer (RTSA) with Global Navigation Satellite

System (GNSS) is a high-performance software-defined RF receiver, digitizer and

analyzer with integrated GNSS technology to offer location and time information in one

package.

It is designed for stand-alone, remote, distributed, and/or embedded real-time spectrum

analysis, monitoring and intelligence applications.

ThinkRF has patented software-defined RF receiver technology that provides industry

leading combined sensitivity, tuning range, instantaneous bandwidth and scan rate.

Additionally, the R5700 provides real-time sophisticated triggering, search and loss-less

capture of signals of interest using an integrated patented digital signal processing

engine.

The R5700 is ideal for monitoring, management and surveillance of transmitters, whether

they are in-building or spread across a geographic area. Applications include but are not

limited to spectrum analysis, 5G wireless technology, research, test and measurement,

spectrum monitoring and OEM integration. When the GNSS module is enabled, GNSS

position and time information is sent to users through VRT context packets roughly every

second.

In addition to the two internal and external 10 MHz reference clock sources, the GNSS

module also provides a third 10MHz reference clock source option for synchronized time-

stamps on VRT packets.

Overview of the ThinkRF R5700

8ThinkRF R5700 Real Time Signal Analyzer User Guide

The R5700 Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer provides Gigabit Ethernet for stand-alone,

remote and distributed applications. ThinkRF supports a rich set of industry-leading

standard protocols and APIs, enabling the R5700 to easily integrate into your new or

existing applications.

Standard protocols include the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments

(SCPI) protocol for controlling and obtaining status from the R5700 and the VITA 49

Radio Transport (VRT) protocol for digitized data and its associated context information.

APIs are provided for interfacing and performing data acquisition and spectral analysis

with Python™, C/C++, MATLAB® and LabVIEW®.

Applications can also be built within the PyRF development framework. PyRF is built on

the Python programming language and is open-source under BSD licensing. PyRF

handles the low-level details of real-time acquisition, signal processing and visualization,

and provides feature rich libraries, example applications and source code, all specific to

the requirements of signal analysis.

Getting Familiar with the ThinkRF R5700

This section provides information about the front and rear panels, connection ports and

identification label of the R5700 Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer.

Note: The type and placement of connectors and components on the panels and the

case may vary depending upon the product variant and version.

Front Panel

The front panel of the R5700 contains the power switch, status indicator LEDs, and the

input connector for the RF antenna port.

Overview of the ThinkRF R5700

ThinkRF R5700 Real-Time Signal Analyzer User Guide 9

Rear Panel

The rear panel of the R5700 contains the power input, 10 MHz reference clock I/O,

hardware reset button, input connector for the GNSS antenna, USB console (CNSL) port,

Ethernet port, and GPIO port.

Underside

The underside of the ThinkRF R5700 includes a label that identifies the device. The

information on the label may vary depending on your product variant and version. The

product “Version” number is important for identifying which firmware can be used to

update your product.

Installing the ThinkRF R5700

Ensure that you read and understand the following information about safety and

electrostatic discharge before you unpack and install the R5700 device.

Warning: Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this

equipment. Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power

source.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is a single-event, rapid transfer of electrostatic charge

between two objects, such as an operator and a piece of electrical equipment. ESD can

occur when a high electrostatic field develops between two objects in close proximity.

ESD occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and is one of the major

causes of device failures in the semiconductor industry.

Electrostatic discharge is more likely to occur with the combination of synthetic fibers and

dry atmosphere. Always follow these steps to prevent ESD.

Warning: Never open the front or rear panels of the R5700 as personal injury may result

and opening the chassis will void the warranty. There are no user-serviceable parts

inside. Always contact ThinkRF support for service through the online support form at

http://www.thinkrf.com/support/.

Caution: To prevent ESD, wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap that you provide, ensuring

that it makes good skin contact.

Caution: Do not touch any exposed contact pins or connector shells of interface ports

that do not have a cable attached. If cables are connected at one end only, do not touch

the exposed pins at the unconnected end of the cable.
