JBU RF Plate SN3 was delivered to our customer (ahead of schedule!). The RF Module was designed to provide wideband gain, equalization, and Built-in-test (BIT) injection between two very long RF cable runs (between an Antenna Assembly and below decks receivers). The gain and equalization was needed to preserve the RF path noise figure and dynamic range performance through the long cable run.
All RF test data (gain, slope, flatness, return loss, input 1 dB compression point, and noise figure) was collected using our in house test equipment and our in house automated RF test software (Painless Extraction, Painless Extraction Noise Figure, and RFSpecTest). Mechanical parts were fabricated externally from our SolidWorks created mechanical drawings, and chem-film treated with Iridite (MIL-C-5541E Class 3) to prevent corrosion.
