5.0   PMI Model: PTRAN-100M18G-SFB-3UVPX-10HP-MAH 

PTRAN-100M18G-SFB-3UVPX-10HP-MAHPMI's transceiver fits into a 3U open VPX form factor utilizing the high speed VITA 67 RF connector. This unit up-converts a 100 MHz to 4.0 GHz transmit signal to the 2.0 to 18.0 GHz range. It also down-converts a 100 MHz to 18.0 GHz received signal to the 100 MHz to 4.0 GHz intermediate frequency range for analog to digital conversion. A receive filter bank incorporates a 2-way absorptive switch to select an input along with two 6-way switches allowing one of six filter paths to be chosen. A filter bank is used also on the transmit path with two 6-way switches allowing one of six filter paths to be chosen. The unit is made to attach to an FPGA controller card allowing for total solution in a 10HP (2") form factor.

  • Frequency range: 100.0 MHz to 18.0 GHz
