TCVR Series
Transceiver
EM Research's TCVR Series transceivers combine transmit and receive paths in a single connectorized package. Configure a model to transmit in Ka-band and receive in K-band, transmit and receive together in Ku-band, or combine both frequency plans in one unit — X-band options are also available.
TCVR Series Options:
- X, Ku, K, and Ka-Bands Available
- Low SWaP connectorized package 11.0” x 3.0” x 1.25”
- Internal low phase noise LO synthesizers
- Excellent linearity
- Instantaneous band width up to 1200 MHz
- IF range configurable within L-Band (950-2150 MHz)
- RF range configurable to 33 GHz
- Internal image and LO blocking filters
- Single or multiple switchable bands are configurable
- Fixed or programmable gain
- IF power detector for customer signal level monitoring
- IF + RF power detectors for gain monitoring
- Internal temperature sensor readout for monitoring
- LO reference can be external or internal
- External LO reference can be multiplexed on IF or on independent SMA connector
- Hermetic sealing
Industries: Aerospace, Communications, Satcom
