VHF/UHF Hybrid RF Switch Matrix & Multicoupler

TRDFAero-3000-16-6 is a high-performance broadband VHF/UHF hybrid RF switch matrix and multicoupler unit designed for direction finding (DF) and RF tracking applications on airborne platforms. It is housed in a rugged 3/8 ATR rack enclosure specifically built for airborne use and operates across the 20–3000 MHz frequency range with 16 RF inputs and 6 RF outputs.

14 inputs and 4 outputs are allocated to the DF channel, while 2 inputs and 2 outputs are dedicated to the tracking-monitoring channel. An integrated RF limiter provides protection against signal overload. Remote control is available via TTL interface, and maximum power consumption of 5W ensures energy-efficient operation.

Features:

  • Multiband inputs; 30-500MHz and 500-3000MHz for ultimate selectivity
  • Selective FM bandstop filters at each output
  • Switchable RF amplifiers per each channel
  • Surge and high ambient protection at each RF port
  • Compliant with MIL-STD-461E and MIL-STD-810G
  • Customized housing for airborne platforms.

Applications:

SIGINT, COMINT, Electronic Warfare
