NRD-730 MF/HF Receiver

NRD-730 MF/HF Receiver

The NRD-730 MF/HF Receiver is a short to medium-wave receiver developed with cutting-edge digital technologies, which can be used for coast, land and marine stations.

Software Defined Radio (SDR)

The receiver has realized a programmable SDR by using a high-performance system control chip (SoC), in which a software-programmable processor and a hardware-programmable FPGA are implemented in a single chip component.
In the future, the software can be updated to meet the communication specifications required for the latest GMDSS.

High-performance analog-to-digital converter (ADC)

High-speed, high-resolution, high-performance ADCs are used to achieve high dynamic range characteristics and excellent effective selection performance.

Noise reduction function

By employing an adaptive noise canceller using digital signal processing, only the desired speech signal is extracted from the received speech that contains noise components, enabling clearer listening.

Built-in DSC demodulation function

Built-in DSC demodulation function specified by GMDSS*.

Effective selectivityJ3E (Radio Telephone)
When an unwanted signal at a spacing of more than 4 kHz from the desired signal is applied to the desired signal input voltage of 10 μV, the unwanted signal input voltage that suppresses the output of the desired signal by 3 dB is 10 mV or moreF1B (DSC, NBDP)
Character error rate less than 1 x 10-2
Desired signal: Input level =10 μV
Unwanted signal: input level = 1 mV, no modulation, steady-state deviation frequency = ±500 Hz
Overall Distortion NoiseInput voltage of 30 μV is applied, the ratio between the output at 1000 Hz and the unwanted component in the output at 500 mW of low frequency output is more than 20 dB.
