TELEDYNE DEFENCE LIMITED A Teledyne Technologies Company 0.5 to 18GHz High Performance Receiver Technical Data QR026 Features Full Band Coverage (options to >40GHz) Fast Tune Speed High Spurious Free Dynamic Range Low Colouration Simultaneous ELINT & ESM operation Frequency Selective RF Protection Compact, Expandable Architecture Low power consumption Optional 1GHz IF Applications Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) Electronic Support Measures (ESM) Defensive Aids Suites (ECM Set-on) Combined ELINT / ESM Sensors Ground, Airborne & Naval Environments Product Description The QR026 high performance receiver provides a new approach for ESM / ELINT applications incorporating patented features offering wide band synthesised capability from 500MHz to 18 GHz, with frequency extensions available up to 40 GHz. The QR026 builds on the concept developed for the QR010 receiver family and uses standard, interchangeable modules for maximum system flexibility. The QR026 offers high pre-selection selectivity, but without the drawbacks of slow tune speeds and high DC power requirements associated with conventional YIG based receivers. Tune speeds of <125µsec are achievable over the full tuning range. Amplitude and group delay characteristics are excellent over the full 500MHz IF bandwidth, with even higher performance over the middle 80% (400MHz) bandwidth. Performance over the central 100MHz is exceptional (better than 1ns group delay), offering the lowest colouration for high quality ELINT signal collection. User control is via front panel Ethernet 10 / 100 Base T. The temperature compensated unit exhibits low noise figure, high IP3 performance and consumes <80 Watts in single channel configuration. The modular architecture of the receiver allows it to be configured as a single, dual, triple or quad channel unit with phase & amplitude matched performance across all channels. The receiver provides IF outputs at 960 and 160MHz, with user selectable IF bandwidths available. A 1GHz IF output is available as an option. The receiver can be supplied as an integrated rack or as cards for integration in a customer system.
