PXI-2798, 40 GHz, Dual-Transfer PXI Transfer Switch Module
782358-01
Dual Transfer Switch
40 GHz, Dual-Transfer PXI Transfer Switch Module—The PXI‑2798 can route RF or microwave signals in automated test applications. Designed to operate with less than 1 dB insertion loss at up to 40 GHz, the PXI‑2798 appears almost invisible to signals at much lower frequencies as well. You can use this module for basic signal routing or inserting and removing components in a signal path. The PXI‑2798 is also well-suited for passing high-order harmonics from RF upconverters or routing multiple sources to RF downconverters.

Activity Detection Unit
DG009-M1
-
Many advanced EW receivers, particularly those associated with ECM jamming systems, do not require the high resolution frequency information associated with a DFD or IFM based receiver. This is typically the case where a single pulse present within a broad frequency band is required to be detected and instantaneously down-converted to an IF band.TDS manufactures a range of Frequency Activity Detectors (FADs) also known as Activity Detection Units (ADU) which perform frequency measurement of an RF pulse and output data in as little as 15ns. The basis of these products is TDS’s ability to produce high performance broadband channelisers and integrated detectors. These devices are ideal for receivers which must operate in very high pulse density environments.

Full Band Down-Converters
STC-20-10-S1
-
Full band down-converters are designed to convert high frequency millimeterwave signals down to the baseband at 10 MHz to 1.6 GHz. These down-converters deliver a superior performance since they are assembled with SAGE Millimeter’s instrumentation grade components, such as multipliers, amplifiers, filters, isolators, and more. The below standard offering covers the frequency range of 26.5 to 170 GHz and delivers a typical LO power of 3 dBm and conversion gain of 20 dB. The down-converters provide low harmonic levels and excellent gain flatness, making them ideal for test instrumentation applications. Specifications other than those listed below are available upon request.

Telemetry Transmitter for FM with up to 3 Bands
LS-11-F
-
The LS-11-F portable FM test transmitter is designed for checkout and troubleshooting of telemetry receiving systems operating with FM modulation. For applications with any of the ARTM modulations (Tier 0, Tier I, or Tier II), please refer to the LS-11-M Data Sheet. Complete ground stations including the antenna with LNA, RF down-converter, IF receiver, bit synchronizer, and PCM decommutator can be tested and bit error tests performed. The design allows secure links to be tested with an external encryptor. The Test Transmitter contains an internal PCM Data Simulator and Pseudorandom patterngenerator that operates in a BERT mode. The device provides simulated clock and data (without transmitter enabled) and accepts external data for modulating the internal transmitter. Complete setup can be achieved locally through the keypad and two-line LCD display or remotely through the USB Interface. Operational parameters include the PCM format parameter database information (frame sync patterns, wavewords, etc…), pre-modulation filter selection, transmitter carrier frequency, transmitter deviation, and output power level. Output power can be selected from approx. -60 to +5 dBm in 5 dB steps. The Test Transmitter contains a LiFePO4 Battery (Lithium Iron Phosphate), which provides higher energy density at ¼ the weight of legacy lead-acid batteries. The unit also provides an internal battery charger and will operate for up to twelve hours on battery power having received on a full charge.
