Rx antenna matrices

A family of RF matrices of modular construction which allow switching between antennas and RF receivers over

the LF/MF/HF (20kHz to 32MHz) frequency range

Main features:

• No-blocking connection of more receivers to the same antenna

• Configuration in a 19” standard rack , 3 Units up to 7 Units

• Robust construction and reliable operation which make these matrices particularly suitable for military applications

• Design based on advanced hardware and software technologies in the field of RF switching a microprocessor-controlled management of the operating functions, while maintaining capabilities for manual control by use of a keyboard and  a color LCD display

• Upgrading/downgrading capabilities

• Local/remote control of the operating functions

• High input/output decoupling

-The standard size of the matrix are:

• 5 Antennas - 4 Receivers Case 19" 3U

• 5 Antennas - 8 Receivers Case 19” 3U

• 5 Antennas - 12 Receivers Case 19” 3U

• 5 Antennas - 16 Receivers Case 19" 6U

• 5 Antennas - 20 Receivers Case 19" 6U

• 5 Antennas - 24 Receivers Case 19” 6U

• 5 Antennas - 28 Receivers Case 19" 6U

• 5 Antennas - 32 Receivers Case 19" 6U

• 10 Antennas - 4 Receivers Case 19" 3U

• 10 Antennas - 8 Receivers Case 19” 3U

• 10 Antennas - 12 Receivers Case 19” 6U

• 10 Antennas - 16 Receivers Case 19" 6U

• 10 Antennas - 20 Receivers Case 19" 6U

• 10 Antennas - 24 Receivers Case 19” 6U

• 10 Antennas - 28 Receivers Case 19" 6U

• 10 Antennas - 32 Receivers Case 19" 6U

• 20 Antennas - 16 Receivers Case 19” 7U

Rx Antenna Matrix 10-16

The matrix is capable of switching 10  antennas to a maximum of 16 radio receivers over the 20kHz to 32MHz frequency band  in “Non-Blocking” mode (the same antenna can be connected to more than one receiver).

The matrix is configured as a 19” Standard Rack 3U unit of robust construction, capable of reliable operation under the adverse environmental conditions often encountered in military applications.

Reduced configurations (5 Antennas/8 Receivers) can be implemented in the same hardware and software architecture, in which the functions not included in the installation are automatically neglected.
