PLM-8G12G-STE-MCCP-PR Preliminary

PMI Model No. PLM-8G12G-STE-MCCP-PR is a prototype "Proof of Concept" Link Module for special test equipment.  It is designed to operate over the 8.0 to 12.0 GHz frequency range.  It employs directional couplers, power divider/combiners, a circulator, and extended range DLVA, a threshold detector, and a down link blanking switch.  The threshold detector opens the blanking switch whenever an uplink signal is detected, preventing reflected signals at J3 from changing the level at the ERDLVA input.
