WJ-8711A DIGITAL HF RECEIVER

The WJ-8711A is a fully synthesized, general-purpose HF receiver for monitoring RF communications from 5 kHz to 30 MHz with 1 Hz tuning resolution. By combining analog and digital signal processing (DSP), the WJ-8711A achieves high performance at low cost.

DSP techniques accomplish functions such as noise blanking, IF filtering, AGC, demodulation, beat frequency oscillator (BFO) and passband tuning. Filters with superior amplitude and group delay characteristics are achieved with digital stability and repeatability. The receiver has 66 standard selectable IF bandwidths. Available detection modes are AM, SAM, FM, CW, USB, LSB and ISB. An operator can adjust the tunable BFO in 10-Hz steps over a ±8000 Hz range, and the available passband tuning further enhances the reception of CW signals. Gain control is manual or automatic, with fast, medium and slow AGC modes. An operator can adjust the squelch threshold from 0 to -135 dBm, or disable it. Enabling the noise-blanking feature effectively eliminates the adverse effects of impulsive noise.

Functions such as noise blanking, tunable notch filter, IF filtering, automatic gain control (AGC), demodulation and beat frequency oscillation (BFO) are accomplished through the use of DSP techniques. Filters with superior amplitude and group delay characteristics are achieved with digital stability and repeatability. There are 66 selectable IF bandwidths (IFBWs) ranging from 56 Hz to 16 kHz.

Available detection modes are AM, synchronous AM (SAM), FM, CW, USB, LSB, ISB and FSK (optional). A tunable BFO can be adjusted in 10-Hz steps over a ±8000 Hz range. Passband tuning further enhances the reception of CW signals. Gain control can be accomplished manually or automatically, with variable fast, medium and slow AGC modes.
