X-Band 4 x QTRM Plank Product Capability

MA-100002

The X-band Plank described below contains four Quad Transmit Receive Modules providing sixteen ports

which can be connected to individual antenna elements to form a 1-D phased array active antenna unit.

Three M2 threaded holes in the end of each QTRM facilitates the attachment of a quad antenna module.

Alternatively, equal length, low loss microwave cables can be used to connect to individual antenna

elements in which case the holes could be used to attach a plate fitted with four cables.

Provision for liquid cooling allows continuous transmission of long pulse widths at high duty cycles

through all sixteen elements simultaneously, thus creating a high power transmitter pulse at X-band.

A closed loop cooling system comprising of a fluid reservoir, pump and heat exchanger can be used to

pump the coolant through the Plank.
