Sceptre 5.9 Features Now Available

Even More Sceptre Compatibility

Sceptre’s receiver and hardware compatibility continues to expand.

The Signal Hound PCR4200 and VSG200, Keysight FieldFox D, Rohde & Schwarz ESMW and WPU2000, along with Emerson NI B206mini and X440 are now fully supported, joining our growing ecosystem of 50+ compatible devices.

3dB Labs is committed to supporting a wide range of RF hardware.

Peak Pick Detector

Transform raw signal data into actionable detectors in minutes, no custom coding required.

By attaching directly to Sceptre’s existing analysis plots, such as Autocorrelation, Demods, RateLine, NonLinearity, and others, Sceptre’s Peak Pick plug-in detects target peaks in Sceptre plots, enabling users to build ad-hoc detectors in a fraction of the time of manual methods.

OmniSIG AI/ML Detector

DeepSig’s OmniSIG- Improved Sceptre Integration, Smarter Signal Filtering*.

A more streamlined integration with Sceptre, with startup, shutdown, and configuration handled directly within the application. Built on a custom Docker application powered by DeepSig’s libomnisig SDK, this update gives operators more flexibility in how signal results are filtered and displayed.

The ability to switch models on the fly adds another layer of adaptability, allowing operators respond to changing mission conditions without interruption.

*Separate download and one-time loading of Docker image required. OmniSIG license also required.

Citadel

In Place Monitoring System

A multi-node, low-SWaP, in-place monitoring system (IPMS) providing real-time RF monitoring to persistently observe, analyze, and assess the radio frequency spectrum

Sceptre Plugin
Capable of continuously monitoring RF signals within a particular environment or system. This can be done for various purposes such as security, quality control, or performance monitoring

Central Manager
Manage state and tasking of the Citadel sensor network. It will tie all components of the system together (sensors, processing, and front-end UI)

Web-Based
Architecture will contain a web/websocket server that presents the state of the Citadel network to the user and allows them to task and interact with the system

LTMS

Self-Contained Laptop Monitoring Station

Designed for evolving mission requirements, LTMS (Laptop Monitoring Station) supports static, mobile, and remote operations with real-time RF monitoring, collection, and rapid deployment—both tethered and untethered.

LTMS is available in two configurations:

  • Single SDRVersatile SDR platform. Modular and configurable up to 20 or 43.5 GHz with 160 MHz instantaneous bandwidth (IBW).

  • Multi-SDR/SAK (Signals Analysis Kit)Enhanced detection and exploitation. Multi-SDR configuration enabling simultaneous sweep-and stare (with an additional 9 kHz–6 GHz SDR), allowing wideband monitoring while targeting specific signals in real time.
