New Design and Product Delivered: FSSDU


We've just designed and delivered a new product: First Stage Signal Distribution Unit (FSSDU). This 3U unit provides many functions, including:
  • Amplification and equalization of extremely wide RF and Microwave frequency bands
  • Distibution of bands to support many receivers and carry-on equipment
  • Combining of frequency bands to create a broad spectrum output for wideband analysis
  • Low noise figure, high dynamic range amplification to maintain the system RF signal path performance
  • This unit replaces an older unit with new hardware and expanded capability
  • Ethernet Interface

New Product Designed and Delivered: BIT / DVA Assembly

 

We've recently designed and delivered a new 1U Height BIT (Built-in-Test) / DVA (Digital Variable Attenuators) Assembly. This unit provides:

  • Wide Microwave Frequency Band coverage across 8 inputs
  • The capability to inject BIT Signals into each microwave input to support system health testing and grooming
  • Gain Adjust and high dynamic range Amplification using our RCT0061 Wide-Band Digital Attenuator Amplifier
  • Equalization to correct negative slope across the frequency band
  • Creation of mmW BIT signals using frequency doublers
  • Ethernet Interface
This part can be used anywhere in a system to inject Built in Test signals, while still maintaining the RF path dynamic range and noise figure. It's small 1U height allows it to fit in many locations in a system.
