PTRAN-100M18G-SFB-3UVPX-MCU-MAH Preliminary

3U Open VPX - Transceiver

PMI Model PTRAN-100M18G-SFB-3UVPX-MCU-MAH is a Transceiver covering the frequency range of 0.1 to 18 GHz.  The Transceiver fits into a 3U Open VPX form factor utilizing two four position high speed VITA 67 RF connectors.  This unit up-converts a 0.1 to 4 GHz transmit signal to the 2 to 18 GHz range.  This unit also down-converts a 0.1 to 18 GHz received signal to the 0.1 to 4 GHz intermediate frequency range for analog to digital conversion.  A receive filter bank incorporates a 2-Way absorptive switch to select an input, along with two six way switches allowing one of six filter paths to be chosen.  The unit includes a micro-controller allowing for ethernet control over the P1 connection and providing a total solution in a single backplane slot.
