Utilizing Elcom’s advanced frequency architecture which incorporates a direct digital synthesizer (DDS) within a VCO based PLL synthesizer the tunable LO features low phase noise with fast tuning speed, low spurious and small tuning step size. The tuner-downconverter can be programmed remotely via the Ethernet interface or manually via the front panel keyboard with rotary knob.
Like all of our products, customers may realize little or no NRE costs through the application of our FlxGen© architecture to our family of down converters / tuners.
500 MHz to 26.5 GHz full band coverage is possible in a 1U nineteen inch rack. In house filter designers in conjunction with on site laser trimming allows for varying filter schemes based on the customer requirement.
VPXTR-6501
Elcom’s VPXTR-6501 is an important component of the Active Offboard Electronic Warfare (AOEW) Active Mission Payload (AMP). AOEW is a self-contained EW pod hosted by an MH-60R or MH-60S Seahawk helicopter, which provides the Navy advanced ASM detection and response capabilities. AOEW allows the Navy to not only see incoming threats, but to respond to them. Ideal for Electronic Warfare, the VPXTR-6501 is a VPX Based 2 Channel UP/Down Converter for Advanced Off-Board Electronic Warfare (AOEW).
