High-Speed Spectrum Coverage

SmartLeopardo scans the complete spectrum from zero to 3200 MHz between 40 and 60 times per second. This exceptional scanning rate means that even brief transmissions are captured and logged, providing comprehensive coverage that sequential scanning systems cannot match. The system employs a specialized receiver card developed by SDR-Technologies, equipped with an analog-to-digital converter capable of capturing one million samples at 6.4 gigasamples per second.

This continuous surveillance approach eliminates the blind spots inherent in systems that scan the spectrum in segments. Every emission, whether it lasts milliseconds or hours, appears in the system's detection logs with accurate frequency and timing information.

Automated Detection and Analysis

The system automatically detects changes between consecutive spectrum captures, identifying when signals appear or disappear. Each detected signal triggers an automated analysis workflow that can be customized through JavaScript-based scenarios. The system estimates central frequency and bandwidth, then applies modulation analysis to characterize the signal.

Standard modulation detectors come pre-configured, allowing immediate deployment for common communications monitoring. Organizations can extend these capabilities by developing custom analysis scripts tailored to specific signal types relevant to their operations.

Intelligent Recording and Storage

SmartLeopardo manages multiple software-defined receivers simultaneously, enabling parallel recording of up to 16 communications within an 8 MHz span per physical receiver. The system distinguishes between opportunistic recordings triggered by automatic detection and systematic recordings of pre-designated frequencies that require dedicated receiver resources.

All captured signals, analysis results, and metadata flow into an integrated relational database that supports sophisticated queries and filtering. Users can tag frequencies with operational identifiers, making it simple to organize and retrieve relevant recordings during investigation or analysis activities.

Integrated Control and Access

Operators interact with SmartLeopardo through a web-based interface that requires no special software installation. The system also provides a REST API for integration with existing operational tools and workflows. For organizations requiring real-time event distribution, the system can publish detection notifications via MQTT.

This autonomous system runs on an embedded Linux platform and starts automatically on power-up, making it suitable for remote deployment scenarios. The integrated GNSS receiver ensures all collected data includes accurate position and timing references.
