MAIA-009992-000000 Dual S-Band 100W Transmit / Receive Module (TRM) 3.1 - 3.5 GHz • • • • • • • • • Minimum 100W Output Power per channel using high efficiency LDMOS transistors Low receiver noise figure <3.3dB @ +55°C Up to 100μs Pulse Width, 20% Duty Cycle 6 BIT phase and attenuation control Independent control of each channel Large Internal Storage Capacitance for Optimum Pulse Shape Integral power supply sequencing and conditioning Integral digital control and messaging logic European Manufacture The API Technologies Dual S-Band 100W Tx/Rx Module is designed to operate in active Phased Array Radar systems. It utilises a 40V supply to drive the 100W LDMOS amplifier, which operates in class AB, with local storage capacitance to supply the peak currents for 100us pulse lengths at duty cycles up to 20%. A circulator provides the duplexer function with a T/R switch to protect the receiver from reflected power. The 6 BIT phase shifter and attenuator are positioned in the common arm so are available in transmit and receive. They are controlled with parallel TTL logic derived from a FPGA that is driven by a 3-wire serial data stream The API Technologies Dual S-Band 100W Tx/Rx Module is designed to operate in ground based active Phased Array Radar systems. It is configured to be suitable for mounting in the antenna array, directly behind the antenna element. Control of the digital phase and amplitude trimmers is by parallel TTL logic derived from an internal FPGA, as is the T/R switch control.
