the Discone input. This image is not of significant concern, except that it can cause some
confusion when analyzing signals in the Discone frequency band.
To access the Harmonic Frequency Analysis:
1. Ensure that the OSCOR is in the Analyze mode and that the desired signal is
selected.
2. Press the MENU button labeled ANLZ.
3. Press the F4 button labeled Harmonic.
4. Us the F1 – F4 keys to perform various frequency analyses.
Press F1 to return to the original signal.
Press F2 to tune directly to the first sub-harmonic of the original signal.
Press F3 to tune to the next harmonic of the original signal.
Press F4 to view the LO image of the original signal (if in the WhipHi, the LO
image = original signal + 1500MHz; if in the Discone, the LO image =
original signal – 1500MHz).
NOTE: the frequency analysis menu is linked to a particular frequency being analyzed. If
the frequency is manually tuned, the menus do not update unless the menu is exited and
returned to the frequency analysis.
Data Functions (STORE/RECALL)
OSCOR has two types of information that can be stored for recall: signal information
and frequency sweep span information.
The signal storage capabilities can store information for up to 3,000 signals. This
information includes input source (RF, Carrier Current, or Infrared), frequency,
demodulator, time/date of the last threat upgrade, and history of threat detections (how
many times this signal has been analyzed in the Automatic Mode). The sweep span
storage can store up to 100 sweep spans. These can be used to recall a desired
frequency band or to program the Automatic Mode to sweep multiple frequency spans
and bandwidths using the same input.
Signal Storage
The OSCOR has a built-in database used to store selected signals. With OSCOR in the
Automatic Mode, each detected signal is stored in the OSCOR memory for later recall.
Moreover, the OSCOR has user-controllable memory storage or recall functions,
allowing specific signals to be entered or deleted manually. Manually entered signals can
be classified with a specified threat level. Signals that are stored as “FRIENDLY” signals
are ignored in the Automatic Mode to increase the speed of the search process.
