SMR-3822

6 Down Load Spec Sheet

The SMR-3822 Receiver, a member of the SMR-3000 family of high-performance synthesized microwave receivers, tunes 0.5 to 20 GHz. or 0.5 to 40 GHz using an external frequency extender. An internal Spectrum Display Generator (SDG) develops data that creates RF Sweep and IF Pan spectrum displays on a remote workstation or laptop. Rear panel connectors provide simultaneous wideband IF outputs at 1 GHz (500 MHz bandwidth), 70 MHz (50 MHz bandwidth), and 160 MHz (100 MHz bandwidth) in addition to a post filtered 160 MHz IF output. Internally, the 160 MHz IF is demodulated and AM and FM video is made available at rear panel connectors. A log video output is developed from the 1 GHz IF and is also available at the rear panel. Options are available. See Spec Sheet fore more information.

In addition to the 70 and 160 MHz IF outputs, the IFD-3822 has AM and FM video outputs. The output level of the AM/FM video is variable over a range of 10% to 100%. The absolute output level range for FM video is 0.1 to 1.0 Vpk-pk and AM video is 0.1 to 1 Vpk.

The TU-3822/IFD-3822 Tuner/Demodulator combination is a member of the SMR-3000 family of high-performance synthesized microwave receivers. This separate tuner and demodulator configuration provides complete coverage from 0.5 to 18 GHz with frequency extension to 40 GHz available and allows the tuner to be positioned remotely (up to 400 feet) from the demodulator. An internal Spectrum Display Generator (SDG) develops data that creates RF Sweep and IF Pan spectrum displays on a remote workstation or laptop. The IFD-3822 provides two wideband IF outputs at 70 MHz and 160 MHz. Additionally, one post filtered IF bandwidth centered at 70 MHz is provided. All IF outputs have a non-inverted spectrum. The receiver system allows one Controller to control multiple TU-3822/IFD-3822 receiving systems simultaneously.

SMR-4820 Advanced COMINT Search Receiver

SMR-4820

4 Download Spec Sheet

The SMR-4820 Microwave Receiver is designed for applications requiring portability and mobility. Through innovative design techniques and state-of-the-art microelectronics packaging, SIGINT Product’s SMR-4820 Receiver provides performance that was previously available only in larger receivers requiring greater power consumption. With integrated LO phase noise of less than 0.3 degrees rms and low group delay, the SMR-4820 is optimized for reception of digitally modulated and multichannel FDM and PCM signals. Wideband (unfiltered) and narrowband (filtered) IF outputs are provided. The wideband output has fixed gain and is selectable between 70 MHz and 140 MHz. The narrowband IF output provides 70 dB of gain control, AGC or MGC, and selectable IF bandwidths that cover a range of 10 to 55 MHz centered at 70 MHz. When the 140 MHz IF output mode is selected, gain controlled 140 MHz IF output is provided with 85 MHz bandwidth. An integrated demodulator provides AM detection and FM demodulation when the IF output is set to 70 MHz.

CP-3801/CP-3501 Receiver Controller

CP-3801/CP-3501

3 Download Spec Sheet

The CP-3801 Receiver Controller provides local control of the TU/IFD-3822 Microwave Receiver. The unit may be attached directly to the front panel of the IFD-3822, or located remotely with control cable. The CP-3801 Receiver Controller front panel consists of a liquid crystal display of 4 lines with 20 characters each, a 12-key keypad, an optical encoder and five soft keys. A power on/off switch and audio output (headphone jack) with manual gain control and AM/FM switch are also provided.

SMR-3822A Wideband Microwave Receiving System

The SMR-3822A Receiver, a member of the SMR-3000 family of high-performance synthesized microwave receivers, covers 0.1 to 20 GHz. Frequency extension to millimeter wave frequencies is possible using a frequency extender. An internal Spectrum Display Generator (SDG) generates data that can be used to develop RF Sweep and IF Pan spectrum displays on a remote workstation or laptop. The receiver provides simultaneous wideband IF outputs at 1 GHz (500 MHz bandwidth) and 160 MHz (100 MHz bandwidth) in addition to a post filtered 160 MHz IF output. All IF outputs have a noninverted spectrum; in addition, there is operator selectable inversion of the IF up to 20 GHz tuned frequency.
