Decimator D4 Highlights Video
Decimator D4 includes a wide frequency range, DVB-S/S2/S2X signal digital demodulation with a constellation display, signal analysis, advanced carrier monitoring and more. Watch the video to see these features in action.
Multiport Decimator D4
The Multiport Decimator D4 is ideal for local or remote monitoring of multiple communications or broadcast carriers within a frequency range of 5 MHz to 6.5 GHz. The multiport unit installs in a 1RU 19” rack mount chassis and is available with either 4 or 8 input ports.
PCIe Card Decimator D4
The PCIe Card Decimator D4 is designed for integration in your own enclosure or in a computer PCIe slot.
Portable Decimator D4
The Portable Decimator D4 fits into a standard laptop case and is useful for technicians to investigate problems in the field. The Portable D4 is easily to set up and connects to a laptop for signal investigation on the go.
Decimator D4 Highlights

- Ideal for monitoring RF feeds & carriers in satellite, wired and terrestrial wireless networks
Built-In Spectrum Monitoring
D4 is ideal for unattended monitoring of carriers in case of signal problems, satellite transponder compression or ground station equipment failure.
You can monitor up to 100 carriers within defined limits for power in a carrier and presence of a carrier. Any anomalies notify interested parties via email or SNMP when a signal is out of limits.
For enhanced spectrum monitoring, view the Spectator add-on option.
Cross-Pol Isolation Measurements
D4 measures and displays the cross-pol isolation of remote satcom and VSAT terminals.
Both co-pol and cross-pol signals are displayed at once, making it easy to see the measured isolation. The measured results can be exported and stored to provide a record of cross-pol performance during regular operation or carrier line-up.
This feature is only available for the Multiport Decimator.
Spectator Add-On - Advanced Spectrum Monitoring
The Spectator software add-on license offers advanced spectrum monitoring capabilities for Decimator D4.
Spectator allows you to view up to 100 carriers at a glance in a single window, playback individual carrier traces, view trend plots and more.
Stay tuned for video coming soon.
API - Remote Management Protocol
Decimator includes an application program interface (API) for remote management, configuration, monitoring and automated measurements.
This API allows easy integration of Decimator into customer-furnished systems or products, such as satcom terminals, antenna control units, VSAT hubs and other similar systems.
The Decimator software includes an SNMP status interface for unit health monitoring.
Detector Add-On - Advanced Signal Monitoring
The Detector software add-on license allows users to display multiple signal constellation displays on a single screen.
Detector helps you monitor constellation diagrams from up to 100 carriers at a time for analyzing demodulated signal characteristics. The display also includes a historical view and trend plots.
Stay tuned for video coming soon.
Web Based User Interface
Decimator includes a built-in user interface that’s accessible using a standard web connection. All common spectrum analyzer settings and functions are available, including:
Save and recall configurations for quick repeat measurements.
Export measurement results into reports for sharing or into spreadsheets or other applications for detailed analysis.
Multiple markers make power level measurements easy to perform.
