Case Study: Elettronica GmbH achieves compact broadband ELINT recording and real-time analysis with National Instruments

Broadband Recording and Analysis of ELINT Signals

Elettronica GmbH needed to develop a cost-efficient, compact device capable of continuously recording electronic signal intelligence (ELINT) with 80 MHz bandwidth and performing real-time pulse analysis. The challenge was to overcome the traditional gap between tactical and analytical systems for electronic reconnaissance.

National Instruments provided the solution using their NI FlexRIO modules, high-performance digitizers, and LabVIEW software. This resulted in the CESAR 80, a flexible device that delivers fast analysis and extensive digital recording, making it a core component for modern tactical ELINT systems and enabling future expansion to 600 MHz bandwidth.
