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.
