Exceptional Performance of the AR5700D Receiver in Challenging Conditions (part 2):
The Secret Behind its Exceptionally Low Noise Floor
The AR5700D communications receiver sets a benchmark in the SDR market with its exceptionally low noise floor, primarily due to the LTC2205-14 ADC chip. This 14-bit, 65Msps ADC minimizes noise through its high resolution and fast sampling, essential for preserving signal integrity.
Key features contributing to its performance include:

High SNR and SFDR: With a signal-to-noise ratio of 78.3dB and a spurious-free dynamic range of 98dB, the ADC excels in distinguishing signal from noise, crucial in varied signal environments. (Dither=off SFDR=103dBFS @15MHz, Dither=on SFDR=113dBFS @15MHz)
Dithering and Data Output Randomizer: These options help in reducing quantization noise, enhancing the accuracy of digital outputs.
Ultralow Jitter and Wide Bandwidth: The ADC’s 90fsRMS jitter and 700MHz bandwidth ensure precise sampling and handling of high-frequency signals without loss of quality.

The following graph showcases how well the ADC handles signal conversion at a fundamental frequency of 14.9MHz, with dithering applied, reflecting its pure performance. It clearly depicts the signal-to-noise ratio and the absence of spurious frequencies, which are critical for illustrating the low noise characteristics of the ADC.
LTC2205-14: 32K Point FFT, fin1=14.9MHZ, -7dBFS, fin2=20.1MHz, -7dBFS, PGA=0, DITH=1

LTC2205-14: 32K Point FFT, fin1=14.9MHZ, -7dBFS, fin2=20.1MHz, -7dBFS, PGA=0, DITH=1

The integration of these advanced features makes the AR5700D highly effective and reliable for applications demanding high sensitivity and minimal noise interference.
For more details, visit the AR5700D product page: http://www.aorusa.com/receivers/ar5700d.html
By the way, our AR2300, AR5001D and AR6000 series receivers feature the same very low noise floor!

Exceptional Performance of the AR5700D Receiver in Challenging Conditions (part 1)
We are thrilled to announce a series of insights into the remarkable capabilities of our AR5700D receiver, starting with an in-depth look at its superior noise floor performance.
Our tests are and will be conducted in an electrically noisy office building in the heart of Tokyo. This setup is intentionally chosen to push the boundaries and reveal the true prowess of the AR5700D.
In a recent comparative test, the AR5700D demonstrated its exceptionally low noise floor. The test conditions included no antenna connected, AGC turned off, and RF gain set to zero.
The comparison, featuring the popular SDR receivers RTL-SDR v.3 and Airspy R2, highlighted the AR5700D’s advanced engineering. While both the RTL-SDR v.3 and Airspy R2 offer excellent performance within their respective price ranges, the AR5700D stands out with its premium components and impeccable shielding, delivering unmatched performance.
Thanks to its superior hardware design, high-quality components and signal processing, the AR5700D excels by achieving a minimal noise floor of -140 dBFS (as measured on the SDR# spectrum screen, see screenshot). Such performance is critical for professional and governmental users worldwide who demand the highest standards in signal reception.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to explore and reveal the superior specifications and functions that make the AR5700D the preferred choice for discerning professionals across the globe.

AR5700D Multi-Simultaneous Receive Capability with SDR# Software
We are excited to announce the latest development for our AR5700D wideband communication receiver. As demonstrated below, users can now leverage the powerful capabilities of the SDR# software to enable multi-simultaneous receive functions in their AR5700D receiver.
AR5700D_multi-receive_SDR#

This advancement allows for monitoring multiple frequencies concurrently within the maximum bandwidth of the I/Q stream, which is 0.9 MHz wide. This significantly enhances the versatility of the AR5700D. The SDR# software from our friends at Airspy, integrates seamlessly with the AR5700D to provide a comprehensive and flexible monitoring solution.
For a demonstration, please watch (and listen to!) the video below. It showcases the SDR# software actively monitoring multiple AIRBAND frequencies of Tokyo control, tower, approach, and departure. The video also highlights how simple it is to open a new receiver session by just clicking the "plus" icon at the top left of SDR#. The actual number of sessions which can be opened is actually only limited by your PC's processing power.
AR5700D_multi-receive_SDR#

We believe this enhancement will greatly benefit our users by providing more flexibility and efficiency in their monitoring activities. Stay tuned for more demonstrations of what can be achieved by the combination of AR5700D and SDR#.
You can download the latest version of SDR# from the official AIRSPY website at https://airspy.com/download/
By the way, the same capabilities also apply to receivers AR2300IQ, AR5001D with IQ5001 option, and AR6000 with IQ5001 option, so why don't you try it out?

On September 10, the “Journée des Associations” took place in Provins, spearheaded by the French radio-club F6KOP.
Attendees witnessed captivating live TX/RX tests utilizing the QO-100 Es'hail 2 satellite. Beyond its primary functions, such as direct TV broadcasting and distribution of governmental and commercial content, Es'hail 2 offers a linear transponder for amateur radio services. This encompasses low-power narrow bandwidth voice, Morse, and digital communications.
Fred from PROSIC, our esteemed French distributor and a long-time supporter of the radio-club, showcased the AR-DV10 receiver. With remarkable ease, he received and decoded the amateur radio downlink from Es'hail 2 using a off the shelf ASTRA-type satellite dish.

While the dish is receiving the downlink frequencies around 10.489GHz, AR-DV10 is tuning to the downconverted frequencies output by the LNB, at around 739 MHz. In line between the antenna and the receiver are a Bias-Tee to power the LNB, and an attenuator for optimal signal level.

Kudos to the AOR distributor in France, PROSIC, for his honorable initiatives for the blind and visually impaired radio amateurs. Last April, members of PROSIC, UNARAF (National Union of the Blind Radio-Amateurs of France) and F6KOP (French radio club) have been honored guests of an event organised in Abidjan, capital of the Ivory Coast, for the benefits of INIPA the National Ivorian Institute for the Advancement of the Blind.
PROSIC and UNARAF have already cooperated in the past for the creation of DV1-UNARAF, a control software for the AR-DV1 receiver, dedicated to the blind and visually impaired.
Below are some photos of that INIPA event in Abidjan:
