DESCRIPTION .. .. This module has three RF .. .. inputs of 500 Watt peak and .. 20 Watt average power. Each .. .. of the three channels contain .. .. a 4-bit digital phase shifter .. and the phase shifters’outputs .. .. feed two transfer switches, as .. shown in the circuit diagram. .. .. The module includes all necessary .. .. PIN diode drivers for the .. phase bits and switches, as .. .. well as BITE circuitry, which .. .. monitors all PIN diodes, drivers .. and DC supply voltages, and .. .. gives a TTL “fault”indication .. .. if any parameters are out-of.. range. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
