RadioInspector: IQ Process Program for Advanced Post Processing and Analysis of Recorded IQ Data

Waypoint Counter Surveillance is pleased to announce RadioInspector’s new IQ Process program, providing full-featured post processing and analysis of recorded raw IQ data. In response to requests for advanced professional IQ data recording and analysis, the IQ Process program, which was originally developed for a specific technical requirement, has now been updated and configured for use with IQ data files recorded by RadioInspector with any supported receiver, spectrum analyzer or SDR instrument.

The IQ Process program complements RadioInspector’s existing, high-performance real-time technical capability that includes live IQ analysis with embedded performance measurement, providing phase and amplitude information with filtering and decimation, Signal Classification Analysis Recognition System (SCARS) and the Digital Testing (DTEST) program, offering unprecedented integrated technical parameter analysis of captured signals and frequency bands.

IQ data is initially saved during the live collection process in RadioInspector’s Signal Analysis and Performance Measurement window. Operators select the file name and folder for saving the data along with settings for IQ sample rate, bandwidth and recording time, which are pre-configured to optimize the connected-receiver performance specifications, file size and efficiency. Operators can select a bandwidth size which can be up to the digitized IF bandwidth capability of the receiver used during data collection.

The sophisticated IQ Process toolkit utilizes a suite of powerful mathematical-based scientific tools to perform a much deeper analysis of Time, Amplitude and Frequency Domain components and the parameters of digital signal packets. Any portion of the recorded IF spectrum can be selected and isolated for post processing and analysis and operators can identify and analyze signals including those close to or obscured by the noise floor, or to help separate signals in dense portions of the spectrum or in close proximity.

IQ recording of the FM band

The IQ Process program enables performing a digital frequency shift or fine tuning the frequency measurement to any specific signal frequency within the captured range. It performs digital filtering and re-sampling of source data at a desired frequency rate, decimating original IQ data to a predetermined sampling frequency and allowing operators to select ‘Windowing’ options – all highly advanced technical features that, in combination, provide a powerful system to perform comprehensive technical signal analysis of analogue and digital signals. Windowing options include Rectangular, Hann, Hamming, Blackman, Blackman-Harris and Nuttal with multiple GUI‘s displaying timing, phase, amplitude and frequency discrimination results.

The IQ Process program interface consists of 3 pages, which display the source IQ data, the data after the digital shift, filtering and decimation (processed data) and page analysis of the envelope of the processed signal (for the analysis of modulated signals and analyzing digital packets).

The first page displays the trace and spectrum of the source IQ data along with the amplitude and operators can select the measuring points, appropriate windowing function and can multiply the source data to a predetermined constant if the source data has low amplitude. A cursor can be utilized to select specific points within the trace for analysis and zoom function is fully supported.

The second page is for the processing of source IQ data. The operator can choose to use a digital frequency shift and select a new baseband frequency in MHz. Options for filtering and resampling can also be selected. The "Arbitrary filtering and resampling" tab provides settings to create new filters with user-required parameters and interpolation after filtration. The "Predefined filter and integrated decimation" tab provides settings to create a digital filter for filtering the source signal and to set the source signal decimation conditions. Operators can build a filter chain of LPF by 2 (up to 15 filters) for deep filtering.

After applying and calculating various filters the main window displays the trace of time domain and spectra after processing (frequency shift, filtering and resampling) with a constellation diagram that can be observed throughout the trace at any cursor point. The number of points in the spectrum can be selected along with the windowing function. The operator can also choose to display the IQ, phase, amplitude and frequency demodulator results. The processed results can be saved as a new file in a 16 bit integer or 32 float bit format and filters can be adjusted and recalculated at any time with analysis results re-saved as new files.

The third page is for processing of the RF signal envelope (amplitude of the signal after processing the source IQ) and allows the operator to modify the number of ‘spectrum points’ used in the analysis of the signal. With this page the operator can analyze the time and spectral characteristics of the low-frequency modulation function (envelope of the radio signal) in the time and spectral domain, such as the time characteristics of digital data packets.

An additional filter parameter window can be displayed from the “Process of source IQ” and “Processing RF signal envelope” pages to view the frequency response of filtering as well as to display the results of the filter calculation. Operators can select a calculation method including Hamming, Blackman-Harris, Kaiser or Dolph-Chebyshev and the filter type including LPF, Band-pass, HPF and Notch along with the window function and display the filter effect on the noise, sinusoidal signal and sinusoidal signal at a fixed frequency and also show coefficients.

Similar to RadioInspector's versatile Signal List Viewer, IQ Process is designed as a stand-alone program and can be installed on any computer anywhere in the world, allowing operators to export and share any recorded RadioInspector IQ data files and associated post processing results for independent analysis or additional processing. The program is provided at no additional cost and is now being delivered to existing customers and with future orders.

* RadioInspector provides advanced, comprehensive industry leading radio frequency spectrum analysis, data recording, storage, post processing and data management capability for Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM), SIGINT, local and remote spectrum monitoring, surveillance, telecommunications and spectrum management applications. RadioInspector delivers powerful cost effective solutions while offering high performance, stability and efficiency, customized to specific individual requirements with sophisticated capabilities and functionality not available with other applications.

RadioInspector: I - Remote Check Program

We are pleased to announce the latest I_Remote Check program providing advanced capability for remote monitoring applications. Government, military, law enforcement and corporate security organizations have, for quite some time, been looking for more efficient ways to monitor the RF spectrum utilizing multiple data collection points. Multiple receiver-sensors placed within a facility require spectrum data or log files to be checked separately or sequentially for threat data. Simultaneous review of multiple receiver collection points require bandwidth intensive solutions that are complicated and very expensive to deploy efficiently while providing adequate performance.

RadioInspector’s I_Remote Check program was designed to provide operators or an organization’s Security Operations Center (SOC) with the ability to efficiently and effectively remotely monitor single or multiple RF spectrum sensor data collection points at a facility or surveillance location simultaneously 24 X 7, logging all signal events that break an operator determined threshold. The program connects to all receivers or collection points for monitoring over a LAN with RadioInspector and does not require third party software.

I_Remote Check is a separate program providing operators with the ability upload a facility floor plan or area map on the visual interface and place the location of each receiver-sensor collection point directly onto the floor plan or map. The visual interface includes conditional icons displaying the status of each remote monitoring collection point, indicating whether the receiver is operational, idle (not scanning) or when a detection event has occurred.

The program logs and displays the detection events for all combined receiver-sensor collection points simultaneously and for each collection point separately within the user interface. Information for each detected signal event includes receiver identification, time, date, frequency, signal level (db) and power over threshold (pkWt).

Clicking on an individual receiver-sensor collection point brings up a list of all events logged from that particular receiver-sensor only. When a signal event has been detected at any receiver-sensor collection point the operator can choose to have a custom audible alarm sound. The alarm can be programmed to sound one time or multiple times, at predetermined intervals.

RadioInspector runs constantly during remote monitoring, recording and storing all spectrum data collected for complete post analysis, with the ability to log into each receiver-sensor separately to control operating parameters and review all collected RF spectrum data within each immediate environment. Alternatively, captured spectrum information, or scan files can be retrieved from each receiver-sensor and played back in real time for post-alarm event analysis using RadioInspector RP. In this way an alarm may be traced back to an initiating or ‘command’ event, and complete event technical parameters can be measured and assessed.

In addition, each unique event detected can be saved locally at the receiver-sensor, within RadioInspector’s detected signal list file, with complete threat data available for upload to any RadioInspector system for continued data collection and post analysis or can be shared with any computer system world-wide, for review and post analysis using the stand-alone Signal list Viewer program.

The I_Remote Check program provides a Security Operations Center or independent operator with the ability to have multiple receiver-sensor collection points monitored simultaneously for immediate reaction to signal events that are of interest with alarm notification, without the need to manually connect to each collection point separately to monitor information or review results. This capability provides significant efficiency which can be critical during live events or applications requiring quick tactical response.

Note: Thresholds are programmed within the main RadioInspector application by amplitude, power over threshold or the use of minimum, current or average traces values. Threshold tables can also be created with multiple sub-ranges and amplitude levels set across the entire spectrum or selected frequency ranges. The Dynamic Threshold feature can also be used during all spectrum monitoring applications utilizing a sophisticated algorithm for analyzing the spectrum trace, based on an analysis of all the points of each 10 MHz section of the spectrum during data collection, providing even greater flexibility and advanced capability during remote monitoring applications.

RadioInspector: New Advanced Features and Program Enhancements

With final testing now complete, we are pleased to be able to provide a series of new announcements detailing highly advanced RadioInspector features, programs and system enhancements, providing the next generation of performance measurement and detailed signal analysis with extensive data management and sophisticated analytical capability.

RadioInspector: CSV File Converter

RadioInspector now includes a new separate CSV file converter program for the conversion of frequency tables from CSV text files into RadioInspector Standard Authorized Frequency Database files.

This new converter allows operators to utilize CSV frequency tables from anywhere in the world to create an unlimited number of Standard Authorized Frequency Lists for use during scanning, data collection and local or remote monitoring applications. The converter includes transmit frequency, receive frequency, occupied bandwidth, modulation, type of radiation, radio service, location of transmitter, owner, call sign and custom operator comment fields.

While the CSV file format is used around the world, it is not standardized. The method of separating fields with a comma is well known, however complications occur when the field data contains commas or embedded line breaks. The RadioInspector CSV conversion program was designed to work with this type of data.

The term CSV may also refer to closely related delimiter-separated formats that use different field delimiters, including tab and space-separated values. To address the problems these formats can cause in frequency data exchange, RadioInspector's CSV converter includes options to select values for the delimiter character, string data delimiter symbol and hexadecimal codes.

RadioInspector authorized frequency list files can be edited at anytime, adding or deleting frequencies to each list during data collection, customizing each file to a specific location with focused, unique operator information. Such customization allows for greater accuracy and RF spectrum environmental awareness, while helping mitigate the dangers of assuming signal identification based on generalized or static information, by allowing real time recorded and analyzed operator input by specific location. Files can also be saved, exported and uploaded for use with use with other RadioInspector Standard Authorized Database systems world-wide using any receiver, spectrum analyzer or SDR instrument from the extensive list of integrated hardware.

Operators are now provided with the flexibility to utilize the CSV file converter in combination with RadioInspector’s ability to directly save signal list files in CSV or TXT formats manually, or automatically at specific operator programmed intervals for export, review and additional analysis.

RadioInspector: Detected Signals Database and Signal List Viewer Program

We are pleased to announce enhancements to the Detected Signals Database, threshold functionality and the latest Signal List Viewer program

Thresholds:

RadioInspector automatically and efficiently records all signals and spectrum data including 2D and 3D waterfalls during spectrum scanning into an integrity protected database. This automated process enables complete spectrum recording and playback with detailed post analysis. During spectrum scanning the operator can also set amplitude threshold lines to create a list of ‘exceedences’ or detected signals that crossed the threshold. Threshold parameters can be easily and rapidly programmed by the operator in several ways including amplitude, power over threshold or the use of minimum, current or average traces values and can be edited at any time or saved for later use. Threshold tables can also be created with multiple threshold sub-ranges and amplitude levels set across the entire spectrum or selected frequency ranges and saved for future use or export.

RadioInspector now includes a specialized Dynamic Threshold for use in mobile applications such as telecom/spectrum management drive-by testing or mobile monitoring/surveillance, where spectrum and amplitude measurements are constantly changing due to propagation issues including reflection, refraction, re-radiation, near and far field multi-path and while being affected by resolution bias error due to the ‘Picketing’ phenomena – a common occurrence during mobile operations. The Dynamic Threshold utilizes a sophisticated algorithm for analyzing the spectrum trace, based on an analysis of all the points of each 10 MHz section of the spectrum during mobile scanning and data collection.

A variety of analysis options are available for signals which break a threshold including automatic audio recording for review or export with settings for recording quality and duration, launching an external program and technical analysis by the Signal Classification Analysis Recognition System (SCARS). Alerts can also be sent to a remote computer if a signal exceeds a preset dB threshold level or power (pkWt) level.

Detected Signals List:

Signals that break preset thresholds are automatically saved, creating a detected signals list. The operator can now select the format of the saved file as a RadioInspector specific .risdt format, or in common .csv or .txt formats. This detected signals list includes the Frequency, Occupied Frequency Bandwidth (kHz), Date and Time of Detection, Detection Count, Power Over Threshold (pkWt), Signal Level (operator selected by dBm, dBmkV, dBmV, dBWt, dBmkWt/cm2 or dBWt/m2) and Signal Classification Analysis Recognition System (SCARS) results. The detected signals list also provides the visual spectra or spectrum view for each signal, which is displayed in a separate window with zoom and scroll functions. The spectrum view window shows all recorded data for each individual signal detection count along with the specific instrument used during collection. The spectrum view also allows scrolling through each frequency on the list, or to scroll through each detection count for individual signals recorded over the data collection period. RadioInspector signal lists can be saved manually at any time by the operator or, for mobile, remote or unattended spectrum monitoring, signal Lists can now be saved automatically at operator programmed intervals. Signal Lists can be edited, merged, or shared externally at any time and re-saved as new files, reloaded for additional or new measurement collection, can be exported to or imported from the Authorized Frequency Database and can also be loaded for RadioInspector’s Discrete Frequency Monitoring capability.

Signal List Viewer:

The signal list viewer is a separate stand-alone program developed for independent viewing and analysis of detected signal lists created by RadioInspector during data collection.The signal list viewer is provided at no charge, can be installed by anyone and does not require the RadioInspector program for use, allowing any detected signals list captured by a RadioInspector system to be viewed and analyzed on any laptop or desktop computer. All of the information and data collected can be reviewed including the separate spectrum view window with all functionality. This provides RadioInspector operators with the unique ability to quickly and easily send any detected signals list created, whether it be for identified security threats, spectrum management or compliance issues, spectrum surveillance and monitoring results etc. with recorded data for review or analysis to anyone, anywhere in the world. If the recipient is also a RadioInspector operator, the lists can be saved and loaded onto their RadioInspector system for analysis and local data collection, regardless of what receiver (from the extensive list of integrated professional receivers and spectrum analyzers) was originally used create the detected signals list.

* RadioInspector provides advanced and comprehensive industry leading radio frequency spectrum monitoring and analysis capability, delivering powerful cost effective solutions with high performance, stability and efficiency, customized to specific individual requirements with capabilities and functionality not available with other applications. RadioInspector supports the largest and continually expanding list of more than 145 receivers, spectrum analyzers and SDR instruments from leading professional manufacturers world-wide.

RadioInspector - Discrete Frequency Inspection

RadioInspector’s Discrete Frequency Inspection allows an operator to continuously monitor and analyze a list of discrete independent frequencies. The operator can separately monitor single frequencies or multiple frequencies while selecting the number of measuring points. Multiple windows with separate frequency lists can be programmed and run sequentially with zoom control and both 2D and 3D waterfall spectrogram displays.

The Discrete Frequency Inspection also provides the operator with the ability to program a ‘Grid’ of channelized frequencies for any frequency band, portion or segmented portions of the RF spectrum with a selected grid step size, enabling the rapid and intuitive build of a frequency list for scanning the local environment and enhancing searches through channelized communications bands.

A threshold can be set by db level or signal to noise ratio and each frequency is analyzed, with signals identified and classified utilizing the industry leading Signal Classification Analysis Recognition System (SCARS). Demodulated audio can be set to record automatically for live or post analysis and the operator can control the number of audio recordings and quality sample rate along with duration settings. An external program or application can also be set to launch upon signal detection.

Frequencies can be entered manually for monitoring, or previously saved frequency lists can be retrieved and loaded. Once programmed, frequency bands or frequency grids can also be saved and reloaded at any time for scanning and analysis. In Addition, frequencies can be added directly from any ‘Authorized Frequency Database’ file created by RadioInspector during data collection.

As with regular spectrum scanning and data collection, the Discrete Frequency Inspection supports dBm, dBmV, dBmkV, dBWt, dBmkWt/cm2, dBWt/m2 measurements. Also supported are current, minimum, maximum and average trace measurements and comparisons along with Checkpoint Identification.

The Discrete Frequency Inspection is a key analysis tool for use in TSCM, SIGINT or spectrum management applications to target specific known threats or signals of interest ensuring they are immediately addressed, or to effectively search for discrete signals in unknown environments, when little or no data is available. The ability to isolate any section of the spectrum by individual frequency, frequency band or channelized grid provides greater focus in a complex RF environment, while helping to target, organize and prioritize specific areas of interest within any segment of the spectrum, increasing operational flexibility during on-site or remote monitoring applications.

The Discrete Frequency Inspection is the latest in a series of feature enhancements and new product developments providing the next level of advanced spectrum monitoring, data collection and analytical capability with sophisticated "Spectrum Intelligence and Operational Data Management".

RadioInspector adds the 802.15.4 (Zigbee, ISA100.11a, WirelessHART, MiWi) Communications Standard to its Signal Classification Analysis and Recognition System (SCARS), Digital Testing (DTest) and Wireless Network Analysis Capability.

RadioInspector now incorporates the IEEE 802.15.4-based communication standard to its industry leading Signal Classification Analysis and Recognition System (SCARS) and Digital Testing (DTest) capability. The 802.15.4 standard is used for a number of valid communication protocols including Zigbee, ISA100.11a, WirelessHART and MiWi, often to form personal area networks (PAN) for short-range, low-data rate wireless information transfer. IEEE 802.15.4 communications use non-licensed spectrum allocations in the Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) bands including operation in similar frequency bands as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

RadioInspector’s highly advanced SCARS technology and DTest application’s detection and analysis of 802.15.4 demodulates data packets on the physical layer, identifies the frequency, unique address of each transmitter, receiver and network, identifies and separates data packets from service management packets and evaluates transmitted traffic and signal strength.

IEEE 802.15.4 communication standards can be used to enable clandestine voice and data exfiltration from secure facilities and add to the plethora of potentially hostile signals that a Cyber TSCM operator must be able to detect, analyze, identify and respond to. This includes use as a Cyber threat command and control vector. The threat significantly magnifies the problem faced by TSCM detection solutions with intermittent operation in the crowded and dynamic signal-dense ISM bands, interspersed with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and other ‘friendly’ signals enabling the threat to ‘Hide in Plain Sight’.

As with all supported communication standards, SCARS and DTest technology does not simply show activity within a band but automatically captures, isolates, and identifies each individual signal present with vector waveform and data packet analysis. This provides the cyber TSCM operator with increased and fully automated analytical capabilities necessary for threat determination in the real-world modern RF signal environment, while greatly enhancing environmental and operational awareness.

The latest addition of the IEE 802.15.4 (Zigbee, ISA100.11a, WirelessHART and MiWi) communications standard significantly strengthens RadioInspector’s already unmatched signal classification analysis and recognition capabilities, which also include GSM, DECT, Bluetooth, Tetra, Apco25, DMR MOTOTRBO and Analogue TV (NTSC, PAL, SECAM). The recent release of the Wi-Fi Inspector System adds full stand-alone Wi-Fi and network analysis with live capture and analysis, remote monitoring or 24X7 long term autonomous data collection and storage capability.

Milipol 2015 Exhibition Event Summary

Waypoint Counter Surveillance was pleased to once again exhibit with Acustek Limited at the 2015 Milipol exhibition, November 17-20 in Paris, France. This was our most successful year ever at the Milipol exhibition and attendance was strong even with the tragic events that took place several days earlier, and we experienced an ongoing stream of visitors.

Our 18 meter/sq booth was located in the heart of the information and communication technology area and included custom designed graphics and was open on three sides for high visibility, with a layout that allowed visitors to browse freely within our booth as well as from the perimeter. Coffee and light refreshments were made available while visitors were assisted by our 8 member international team consisting of individuals from Canada, The United States, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, Russia, Czech Republic and Croatia, with the experience and expertise of former intelligence community, government and military personnel, engineers and system developers. Many times throughout the four day event the volume of visitors filled the interior and perimeter areas as they came to see a wide variety of innovative and highly specialized intelligence and TSCM/counterintelligence equipment.

As was expected, RadioInspector, shown with the new Mil-Spec version Digital FAR (Fast Acquisition Receiver) system, took front and center stage and was quickly recognized as a highly advanced TSCM specific platform with sophisticated SIGINT, threat detection and recognition capabilities. The differences between various technologies became immediately apparent and visitors commented on RadioInspector’s impressive performance in a real-world crowded and dynamic signal environment. RadioInspector’s Signal Classification, Analysis and Threat Recognition technology, provided actual digital signal intelligence, extracted signal parameters and real-world threat information, offering superior spectrum analysis capability.

Demonstrations outlined how common techniques which display detected energy within a band, with assumptions made about signal content, without modern digitally derived threat evaluation leaves users is busy signal environments unable to ascertain the number of signals present or positively identify and analyze each individual signal, be it Bluetooth, DECT, GSM or Wi-Fi etc. RadioInspector was shown to provide forward thinking TSCM technical digital signal analysis tools for isolating, positively identifying and classifying signals with device type, manufacturer, mac address, data packet transmission information, links between devices, encryption status, and mode of operation, clearly listing everything for visitors to see.

Visitors were shown remote connection capability anywhere in the world without the need for 3rd party software and as we moved through the 4 day event, RadioInspector recorded the RF spectrum, while storing all data and spectrograms (2D and 3D waterfalls) in the integrity protected database. Visitors were able to select a frequency or frequency band, date or time to the second, throughout the show using RadioInspector’s smart filter search technology to bring them to the exact moment and replay the spectrum sweep in real time with sophisticated post analysis of all data and spectrograms. We also demonstrated RadioInspector’s ability to provide precise field strength calculations using a variety of industry standard measurements along with the measurement of data packet signal levels for isolated digital transmissions offering significantly improved amplitude direction finding ability over common RSSI techniques.

With the demonstration of RadioInspector capabilities, it was clear to those in attendance that signal detection is simply the initial step in meeting the modern TSCM specific Priority Intelligence Technical and Operational Requirement for advanced analysis. Evaluating and determining the information contained within a signal was shown to be critical to counter current and developing threat technologies. RadioInspector also showed how systems can quickly begin to fall short when it comes to remote spectrum monitoring, when unable to isolate or identify individual signal transmissions in dense signal environments and when lacking the ability to record and store all spectrum data without interruption for complete post analysis, protected environments can be left vulnerable.

Also on display was the new compact, portable stand-alone Wi-Fi Inspector hardware/ software system with demonstrations performed for the first time. Within seconds, Wi-Fi Inspector had detected, isolated and displayed literally hundreds of Wi-Fi access points and devices active at the show. Wi-Fi Inspector identified each device with mac address, SSID, type of device and manufacturer while simultaneously showing all connections between devices, networks, data transmitted and received between each device along with signal power levels. Data was provided in text and graphical formats and displayed all on one screen for fast and easy analysis. The authorized device list could quickly be set to show any rogue or unauthorized devices and the compact receiver module was set to run and record autonomously, collecting and storing all information with the same full analysis available in post event time as in real time. Multiple receiver modules can be used for distributed deployment, autonomously collecting and storing data for months at a time.

The IQ data recording feature that was announced just prior to Milipol was well received. The IQ processing program is completely proprietary to RadioInspector and will be available to customers at no extra charge. The ability to currently analyze IQ as part of RadioInspector’s live RF spectrum capture and analysis with phase and amplitude information, filtering and industry leading digital signal classification and recognition will be enhanced by the newest program which separates the raw IQ data for independent storage with post analysis capability.

Several questions were asked and discussions took place with visitors regarding RadioInspector computer hardware requirements, potential drain on computer resources and the impact on receiver and system performance. While RadioInspector can operate effectively with very minimum requirements, increased specifications will undoubtedly provide increases in performance. We were able to provide visitors with examples of RadioInspector efficiency including connecting to a Signal Hound BB60C receiver and providing fast, high performance with a moderate i5 processor and 8 GB of RAM while efficiently and securely writing all captured data to a standard 500 GB HDD for full post analysis. RadioInspector continually performs calculations and displays current trace points, recording file size, time of current recording and spectrum scan speed by number of measures/sec and MHz/sec on the main GUI.

Activities began two weeks prior to Milipol in South Asia where meetings were conducted in two cities over several days with a variety of customers in attendance by invitation. Following Milipol in Paris meetings took place in Dublin and London. We visited Lisbon, Portugal and Madrid, Spain, travelled throughout Southern Spain, then to Morocco in North Africa and finally onto Barcelona before returning to Paris to complete the trip.

Plans are now being made for several international exhibitions and customer demonstrations in 2016 and due to quickly increasing demand and customer projects, announcements are forthcoming regarding current Digital FAR and RadioInspector European based customer training and support along with continued product feature development.

RadioInspector - Dynamic Compression and Increased Resolution for Waterfall Displays

RadioInspectorRP (post processing) provides "dynamic compression and decompression" of all saved measurement results for waterfall displays, effectively compressing time of measurement into a single view for both 2D and 3D waterfalls that can be expanded and contracted at anytime during post analysis in operator selected predefined step sizes.The 2D waterfall retains all frequency, time and date stamps at any compression level and clicking any point on the waterfall takes you directly to the specific moment in the recorded spectrum trace as well as to the associated database file which shows, date, time, maximum level, (and if a GPS receiver was used during data collection), the longitude, latitude, altitude and speed at the time of measurement.

In addition to the ability to compress and decompress dynamically at will during post processing of the RF spectrum, the 2D waterfall resolution can be increased as high as a 10:1 ratio at operator selected increments. Resolution can also be increased up to 10:1 or decreased back to 1:1 in selected increments at any time, on the fly, without stopping the live data collection process.

Using these advanced TSCM tools, complex technical emissions such as burst transmitters, frequency hoppers and ultra-wide band signals can be detected and analyzed as well as subtle increases in the noise floor across a large amount of RF spectrum enabling the operator to see and record ultra-wide band signal start and stop frequencies.

* RadioInspector is a highly advanced TSCM specific software application offering cost effective solutions with high performance, stability and efficiency, customized to specific individual requirements with the largest number of professional receivers and spectrum analyzers.

RadioInspector - Feature and Enhancement Updates

I/Q Constellation Variable Filter and Decimation:

The RadioInspector I/Q constellation capture feature enables a TSCM/SIGINT operator, in real time, to examine the I/Q constellation pattern of a digital signal and utilize SCARS for identification and classification. The constellation I/Q analysis screen, which includes the live spectrum scan as well as separate phase and amplitude analysis windows, now also includes a phase and amplitude variable filter and decimation feature. This enables fine tuning and noise reduction of the I/Q constellation pattern so the operator can determine, with increased accuracy, the nature of the signal being decoded.

Time Pattern Recognition:

RadioInspector now includes a post analysis time pattern recognition feature which analyzes the periodicity of signals on a selected frequency. This feature provides a separate spectral analysis display which shows each time a signal transmission is detected on a specific frequency or frequency band helping facilitate the identification of burst transmitters and sophisticated threat devices that store recorded audio data and burst transmit the signal on a periodic basis. Likewise command an control transmissions that initiate such threat devices but operate on different frequencies can be analyzed in a visual ‘cause-effect’ recognition pattern.

Audio Analysis:

RadioInspector automatically records all detected AM and FM signals while scanning. Scanning never stops to perform audio analysis while signals are captured and their audio content is derived from the continual digital stream of the software defined radio. All analogue signals and analogue components of digital signals are demodulated, routed to the computer sound card for the operator to hear and are also recorded and stored for audio analysis by RadioInspector.

Hundreds of audio files can be automatically collected in this manner, stored in the integrity protected database where they can be reviewed by the operator at a single button push using RadioInspector’s intuitive ‘Point and Click’ GUI. Multiple audio files can now be selected and can be played back sequentially, greatly facilitating the search for full duplex audio transmitting devices. For secondary analysis, all audio files can be transferred across the network via the internet at operator selected sample rates.

Automated .exe File launch:

RadioInspector has been programmed with a built in ability to launch a 3^rd party external program (.exe file) under a variety of trigger scenarios including amplitude threshold exceedance, by individual frequency or frequency band. The external program can be an alarm, page, or third party security application that is programmed and installed on the computer further enhancing advanced integration requirements.

Measurement Calculator:

RadioInspector now includes a Measurement Calculator. This calculator provides measuring values conversion for dBmkV, dBm, dBmV, dBWt, mkV, V, mkWt, mWt and Wt industry standard measurements. The calculator also allows for tables to be created and saved with comments and values.

RadioInspector's ongoing development provides feature enhancements and increased capability for advanced TSCM and SIGINT operations.

RadioInspector - Intelligent Dynamic Configuration File and Checkpoint Identification

The collection and storage of data in a secure and protected manner is of extreme importance for RF spectrum analysis whether for single one time only TSCM assignments or continual remote monitoring applications. Both real time and post analysis of the Radio Frequency spectrum depends upon the integrity and availability of all data collected.

RadioInspector now includes an Intelligent Dynamic Configuration File. This advanced feature ensures that all data collected is securely stored immediately ‘on the fly’ and does not require operator interaction to create and save files during RF spectrum analysis. This automatic saving of information provides the operator with the ability to manage collected data and provides operational resilience and flexibility when analyzing the Radio Frequency spectrum ‘post collection’.

Unexpected systems failures, Windows system conflicts, computer freezes and crashes can happen at any time from a variety of factors. In these instances collected data, and mission-specific configurations and settings can all be lost. RadioInspector’s Intelligent Dynamic Configuration File will not only save all data securely, but in the case of an unexpected system shut down or crash, will allow the operator upon computer start up, to be immediately prompted that RadioInspector will continue with all TSCM mission-specific saved settings and will continue to write to the same database file as before the event occurred. The only data lost will be that information that would have been collected during the unexpected system event. All of this is done automatically without any input required from the operator.

RadioInspector now also includes a time/date based “Checkpoint” feature. At the press of a single button on the GUI, a “Checkpoint” is instantly created and can be labeled immediately to identify a physical, environmental or RF spectrum event. Each Checkpoint is saved in the RadioInspector database and can be recalled at any time, immediately taking the operator to the exact moment in the spectrum scan that the checkpoint was created. Whether it be an operator observed spectrum event or anomaly, interruption, beginning of a meeting, arrival of a diplomat, executive or for any reason the operator may have, checkpoints provide an increased level of situational awareness either immediately following the event or during post-analysis of the Radio Frequency spectrum weeks or even months after a sweep occurred.

Both the Intelligent Dynamic Configuration File and Checkpoint Identification features further enhance RadioInspector’s unmatched, database flexibility and extensive recording and post analysis capabilities.

July / 2015

RadioInspector - Database Integrity Verification Protocol

RadioInspector records and stores all sweep data automatically, allowing entire RF spectrum sweeps or segments of sweeps, including 2D and 3D waterfall spectrograms, to be replayed from beginning to end, forwards or reverse at operator selected speeds. Analysis can be performed on any recorded signal or event and detailed comparative analysis can be performed between any previously saved spectrum trace, or a new spectrum trace can be created from any portion of any previous saved sweep for unprecedented post analysis capability

A method to ensure data integrity is fundamental to providing database reliability and security. Database integrity problems can have many sources including hardware malfunctions, software bugs, a system attack, or human/operator error. Integrity loss or corrupt data can lead to information inaccuracy and erroneous observations and decisions.

RadioInspector’s advanced programming saves all data recorded to an integrity protected database that allows additional processing of measurement results while providing increased reliability and immunity to data corruption without the need for SSD or RAID hard drives. The latest RadioInspector software release now contains an automatic database integrity verification protocol which checks the integrity of a stored file each time it is loaded for playback and post processing.

This feature assures technical operators that the integrity of stored RadioInspector database files used for advanced post-analysis of spectrum data is automatically checked and verified before use. If 100% integrity is verified, RadioInspector presents the stored file to the operator with the conclusion that the file can be used. This file is then loaded into RadioInspector to enable ‘Error-Free’ post analysis of spectrum information.

The RadioInspector TSCM, SIGINT Software Advantage - Update

RadioInspector developers and partners don’t see all RF signals as the same or to be treated and analyzed the same way, but see them as unique individual events. Radio frequency signals hold a wealth of information that once accessed can take away much of the guess work and operator analysis time, while providing fast and accurate information, automatically identifying and classifying signals and providing the operator with precision information required while maximizing their sweep and analysis time. RF spectrum analysis has evolved to take advantage of signal wave form, header and I Q data and when combined with RadioInspector’s extensive sophisticated detection analysis and location features, offers a new generation of advanced capability for a wide variety of applications.

RadioInspector surpasses analogue spectral analysis by providing, for the first time, industry leading and TSCM sweep-enabling Signal Classification Analysis Recognition System (SCARS) and Digital Test (DTEST) technology. RadioInspector’s SCARS subroutine analyzes, while spectrum scanning, every signal event that breaks an operator determined signal amplitude threshold, automatically. Every detected signal is analyzed according to supported modulation type, frequency, amplitude, detection count, time and header information. RadioInspector goes beyond the common 2D spectral displays, typical of analogue technology by providing a dynamic 3D waterfall display where operators can easily observe individual signal artifacts ‘hidden’ between signal detection events or enhance the 3D display with the I and Q constellation display allowing for instant operator recognition of complex patterns that are undetectable with analogue 2D waterfall displays.

Moreover the extensive analysis toolbox of RadioInspector allows the operator to ‘point and click’ on any detected signal and complete parametric detail about the signal is presented for review or export for reporting. Signals that are detected and can be demodulated are automatically recorded for post analysis by the built in digital audio analysis program, in frequency and time domain components. This program breaks down analogue components of signals using various DSP algorithms offering unique and innovative TSCM specific audio signal analysis capability with audio files saved, sorted and stamped by date, time and frequency. All of this is done automatically, at the push of a button.

In addition, the entire sweep, not just isolated or threshold events, is saved with time and date stamps in an integrity protected database which can be played back in its entirety in 2D and 3D views at operator selected speeds for further analysis of TSCM critical events such as triggering signals for burst transmitters or harmonic identification. A search can be performed across previous saved sweep files by, date, time, frequency or span and detailed comparative analysis can be performed between sweeps for unprecedented post analysis capability. For Bluetooth, DECT or Wi-Fi signals, RadioInspector will have identified the device and manufacturer, can automatically compare it at against a list of authorized devices and flag any suspect signals or associated events and the operator will already know if it is the boardroom printer or the CEO’s laptop etc. In the case of GSM, RadioInspector analysis allows for the identification of the service provider as well as cloned or rogue base stations which can be used for the interception of cellular phone traffic.

Signal detection is only the initial step in the Detect-Analyze-Respond cycle and as the complexity of an environment grows, it is this analysis of signals that will provide accurate, timely information in order to allow the TSCM operator to fulfill the cycle with precision. This is also particularly advantageous and even critical in a tactical sweep situation or for volatile environments where time is of the essence.

While RadioInspector offers support for the largest and continually expanding list of more than 100 receivers and spectrum analyzers it also offers extreme flexibility, from software developed specifically for simpler scanning receivers such as those from Icom and AOR to the most advanced flag ship spectrum analyzers from Rohde & Schwarz. In addition RadioInspector is not simply offered in a “one form fits all” package but is offered in a variety of configurations that can be customized to fit unique individual requirements, whether that be advanced TSCM functionality, detailed RF analysis with highly accurate measurements that includes full metrological measuring capability taking into account antenna gain/loss factors, intermediate transmission line losses and instrumental inaccuracies, geographic information providing geo-spatial co-ordinates in support of direction finding and drive by testing for telecom infrastructure including interference analysis with DECT and LTE, true SIGINT capability with advanced high frequency signals analysis at resolutions as fine as 1 hertz while recording I and Q with quality digital filtering and audio recording, or even the ability (restricted) to control jamming equipment and offer selective jamming capability in support of government, military and law enforcement operations. It should be noted that no high end “gamming type” laptop is required, nor are SSD or RAID drives necessary for any of the integrated receivers.

RadioInspector utilizes a security coded USB dongle for use and activation. Operators only need to remove the dongle from the USB port to prevent access to the application or its data. The Security dongle also allows RadioInspector to be installed on as many computers as the user chooses and if a computer requires maintenance or causes issues in the field the dongle can simply be moved to another computer requiring virtually no down time or sweep interruption. RadioInspector can also be run via local or remote control for 24 X 7 spectrum monitoring, analysis and complete sweep recording.

Last year alone (2014) RadioInspector added high frequency analysis, Signal Classification Analysis and Recognition System (SCARS), new significantly enhanced Bluetooth and DECT analysis, including the ability to detect and classify Bluetooth devices that have been modified to utilize non standard frequencies, which is an industry first. Along with these developments RadioInspector has also added new integrations by customer request including the Aeroflex 3251, 52 , 53 and 54 receivers, the NARDA IDA 2, NRA 3000 and 6000, Agilent N9320 and of course the much anticipated and requested integration with the low cost Signal Hound BB60C. In addition we will be announcing a new and unique Wi-Fi analysis system which is now in the field testing stage along with the Digital FAR (Fast Acquisition Receiver) System designed for use in mobile or tactical environments.

It’s not whether one delivers, but what they deliver that is important. Our customer base requires advanced applications and functionality and it is in fact these specific advanced features of RadioInspector that are now generating increasing world-wide interest and comparative analysis. For the past four years our global partners have tested, evaluated and reviewed new capability and functionality, had new features added and continue to do so. This provides a software package that is truly international in its ongoing development. Full training and complete professional support is provided from both North America and Europe in many forms including via live online conference and orders are now shipping to high level clients in North America, the United Kingdom and Europe.

From common, standard base application capability such as RF trace comparative analysis, receiver hand off, multiple spectrum windows and on-screen video demodulation to the extensive list of innovative and advanced features and functionality, recent enhancements with much more to come including new integrations, partner project announcements, new significant upcoming capability and European training and support, RadioInspector is well positioned moving forward as the single most advanced, specialized TSCM spectrum monitoring, analysis and SIGINT software application.

RadioInspector - Advanced DECT Signal Analysis

Challenging interference problems frequently affecting Telecom critical infrastructure are often intermittent and can be difficult to

recognize or attribute to a source. Recently, DECT wireless phones have been causing significant concerns for the Telecom

industry. North American Telecom companies are increasingly experiencing interference to their latest 1800 MHz LTE services

from DECT phone systems that have been procured from outside of North America. Booster amplifiers are readily available to extend coverage inside buildings and it is these boosters that can create havoc with LTE cell sites.

Depending upon which part of the world the DECT phone is manufactured and set up for, different frequency channels are used making it necessary for Telecom personnel to search through all possible DECT frequencies looking for potential sources of interference. In the 1800 MHz LTE and cellular communications band, in a real world urban environment, with multiple LTE

signals, the transient and wide-band nature of the DECT waveform is extremely difficult to recognize, identify and isolate from

other signals using standard spectrum analyzers and RF analysis software.

RadioInspector's Digital Test (DTest) program detects and identifies all DECT signal waveforms and performs enhanced digital

signal analysis of the DECT transmission parameters to provide base station and handset addresses (the DECT RFPI addresses) when the phones are transmitting. RadioInspector cycles continuously, quickly, and automatically, through all worldwide DECT spectrum allocations immediately detecting DECT signals that are sources of interference to LTE services. For each DECT channel/signal detected, RadioInspector provides a precise measurement (in dB units) of the received signal level in order to

search for these sources of interference by using the digital map and amplitude direction finding capability.

RadioInspector provides the most complete and detailed level of detection and signal analysis necessary to accurately and

precisely analyze the TELECOM environment and provide clear and accurate indications of potentially harmful interference to LTE-enabled critical infrastructure.

RadioInspector - Advanced Bluetooth Signal Analysis

RadioInspector’s Digital Test (DTest) option has been significantly revised with an enhanced, TSCM specific active search method for Bluetooth signals.

In active search mode, RadioInspector DTest commences searching for Bluetooth synchronized devices that are in the ‘allowable detection mode’ and provides their name and MAC address. This method shows active Bluetooth devices which although may not be a threat, may pose an emissions or technical security hazard.

RadioInspector also scans all Bluetooth frequencies and searches for Bluetooth emissions. Detected emissions are resolved

using the advanced Bluetooth signal analysis which demodulates the packet headers, analyzes and defines the Bluetooth LAP.

This unique capability detects hidden and clandestine Bluetooth transmitters such as key stroke loggers and covert Bluetooth-enabled radio room-audio transmitters, even if those transmitters are configured to be hidden from standard detection methods.

The enhanced RadioInspector Bluetooth signal analysis further increases the highly advanced capability of this industry leading TSCM, SIGINT software application.

RadioInspector - Signal Classification Analysis Recognition System (SCARS)

The latest release of RadioInspector now includes full implementation of the advanced Signal Classification Analysis Recognition System (SCARS). SCARS is a highly sophisticated set of RadioInspector software algorithms and sub-routines that automatically classifies signals by modulation type, using the receiver’s IQ data stream and recognizes the signal modulation from known standards. RadioInspector SCARS is implemented using a simple, effective, ‘Point and Click’ approach.

Analysis of each and every signal is performed within a selected frequency band with a sophisticated operator-selected rule set to

define SOI search parameters, such as searching by signal amplitude or by modulation type with recording of demodulated audio

and SOI I and Q. Spectrum and signal playback and analysis can be performed for individual SOI events, including detailed post-event audio baseband spectral content analysis of all AM/FM signals detected.

In the Point and Click mode, SCARS works in hand with the RadioInspector DTest program to recognize the standards of TETRA,

APCO 25, DMR, DECT, GSM, Bluetooth, and Analogue TV (NTSC, PAL, SECAM) with other complex signal standards to be

added soon. SCARS can also be easily set up to analyze every signal within an operator specified frequency range and where

AM or FM signals are present, SCARS will automatically include demodulated audio with full record, playback and post-event analysis.

With the common approach of simply programming spectral masks with generalized predetermined operator information, which

the receiver software application then utilizes to classify signals, no digital analysis of any kind is performed to determine the true nature of the signal being received. SCARS analyzes and decodes the actual signal wave form and data packets in the detected signal’s header information to provide fast and accurate real-time signal recognition, analysis and classification.

SCARS is the latest in a long list of advanced RadioInspector capabilities ensuring that professional TSCM and SIGINT

operators are provided with the highest level of functionality for all RF spectrum analysis applications.

RECON 2.4 Tactical, Hand Held Non Linear Junction Detector (NLJD)

We are pleased to announce the new RECON 2.4 hand held non linear junction detector (NLJD), developed in a design and engineering partnership between Waypoint Counter Surveillance Inc. and Acustek Ltd. The RECON 2.4 is designed as a highly responsive, tactical, quick deployment counter surveillance resource for electronic device detection. The RECON 2.4 is the result of nearly two years of testing and development in Canada and internationally, working closely with the manufacturer and with direct input for the specific requirements of government, military and law enforcement agencies.

More than 10 NLJD's from manufacturers world-wide were evaluated in various testing environments including tactical searches

for clandestine electronic devices and international post blast I.E.D. tests and our design team was provided with unique insight into the tactical field use of NLJDs by military operators in Afghanistan. The initial RECON 2.4 prototype has been in government testing and evaluation in Canada and Europe for the last 3 months.

The physical design of the RECON 2.4 was selected for its compact, rugged, portable, simple one piece construction and used as the base for development and implementation of specific, targeted performance requirements. Other NLJD's including several hand held designs, some of which were examined to the component level, were rejected for reasons including, size, portability, battery, operational complexity, ineffective design, poor quality receiver and RF components, lack of sensitivity, and inability to withstand rugged field demands.

NLJD performance is more than just raw specifications but is the result of careful operational and technical requirements analysis along with side-by-side comparisons of other known fielded designs. Testing in actual field conditions using operators and

engineers with years of proven experience resulted in combining the right power level, antenna pattern and gain, excellent receiver design, calibration and no-compromise technical parameters. The RECON 2.4 provides an operator adjustable peak pulse power output ERP of 4 Watts with an innovative antenna design, a receiver incorporating ‘front-end’ precision-aligned filters that provide for maximum sensitivity and a new Lithium Ion battery that yields longer operational times. The one-piece molded case construction has been modified to enhance antenna characteristics for greater sensitivity while ensuring a rugged tactical design highly appropriate for field use and first responders.

The RECON 2.4 operates in the 2.4 GHz band and incorporates a highly advanced second harmonic receiver with intuitive and highly responsive display. With only a single patch antenna, the precision and rapidity of target location at close range increases over NLJD designs incorporating both a 2nd and 3rd harmonic receiver. The RECON’s second harmonic design offers greater operational simplicity, reduced size, and easily interpreted results requiring minimal training with highly effective performance at a significantly reduced cost.

The RECON 2.4 comes complete in a hard shell carrying / transport case including stereo headphones with volume control, test target, charger and operator manual.

The RECON is available world-wide exclusively through Waypoint Counter Surveillance Inc. and Acustek Ltd. and their authorized distribution partners.

Active members of government, military or law enforcement organizations can have an authorized purchasing agent issue us a letter to receive a copy of the NLJD field testing and evaluation results.
