<div>== General Information ==<br />
<br />
{{Ref Open}}<br />
Alien communications rely on a supre-dimensional wave which travels instantaneously. The decoder facility intercepts UFO transmissions and decodes the information. This will show the type of UFO, the alien race and the type of activity.<br />

<br />
The Hyper-wave Decoder is the ultimate in UFO detection technology. It is the most expensive facility available, but it is worth every penny. <br />
<br />
As a radar, the Hyper-wave Decoder's detection sphere extends beyond the [[Large Radar]] and has a 100% chance of detecting any encompassed UFO during the half-hourly radar sweeps.<br />
<br />
In addition to the standard radar functions, it will also reveal the UFO's type, mission, destination and the race of its crew. <br />
<br />
Hyper-Wave Decoders are made available after capturing and interrogating an alien '''[[Navigator (Alien Rank)|Navigator]]'''.<br />
<br />
This [[Base Facilities (EU)|base facility]] appears in ''[[X-COM|UFO: Enemy Unknown]]''. For the ''[[TFTD|Terror from the Deep]]'' equivalent, refer to the [[Transmission Resolver]].<br />

== Statistics ==<br />
<br />
Construction Time: 26 days<br><br />
Construction Cost: $1,400,000<br><br />
Maintenance Cost: $35,000/month<br><br />
<br />
Detection Abilities:<br> <br />
Short: 0<br> <br />
Long: 0<br><br />
Hyperwave: +100<br><br />
<br />
The above apply a one-time-bonus to the bases detection abilities.<br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
<br />
* The Hyper-wave Decoder adds one unit to your base's "Long Range Detection" meter, although that statistic is meaningless. <br />
* Though radar abilities are stackable amongst all three radar types, the Hyperwave's extended range and 100% detection rate make the Short and Long detection abilities redundant. Older radars can be dismantled and the space freed for other facilities. Be mindful of the [[Known_Bugs#Paying_For_Dirt|Paying for Dirt bug]] if you do not intend to recycle the land used for the older radars. <br />
