The powerful W61PC hardware includes a digital signal processor (DSP) and a fast 14-bit A/D converter. Four signal inputs are available: AFIF#1-3, IF70MHz, and DIG/EXTDEM. An extremely stable direct digital down-converter (DDC) translates all input signals to base band. The DSP demodulates the incoming data, while the PC’s CPU provides the decoding and display of the data.

One PC can accommodate a maximum of eight W61PC cards. WAVECOM recommends that the number of cards installed in a standard PC does not exceed four.

Plug-and-Play (PnP) automatic installation is provided.
