We just received an order for 9 RCT0043 Switch Matrix/Up Converters, to be used in Navy Vessels. These products allow 8 RF/microwave inputs to be routed to any of 8 RF/microwave output ports, The switch matrix is non-blocking. The design includes:
- Custom designed 8-way power dividers (covering a 4:1 bandwidth)
- A low band Up Converter
- An internal power supply
- High Speed LVDS interface
- High Dynamic Range RF amplifiers on inputs and outputs
- Custom designed equalizers for slope correction, and
- FPGA board for control and status (Built in Test) monitoring
The entire assembly is housed in a 2U rack mount assembly, saving precious rack space. The full frequency coverage is 0.5 to 18 GHz.
