An integrated radio frequency (RF) module provides preamplification, filtering and switching for direct interface to a receiver. The switches allow operation of either the RHCP or LHCP sub arrays or a calibration path. The RF modules are operated by a RS422 controller, which also stores calibration data.
The SE131 has been designed to meet the stringent requirements of today’s manned and unmanned military platforms.
