PMI Model No. PTRAN-100M18G-SFB-3UVPX-MAH is a transceiver covering the frequency range of 100 MHz to 18 GHz. The transceiver fits into a 3U Open VPX from factor utilizing the high speed VITA 67 RF Connector. This unit up-converts a 100 MHz to 4 GHz transmit signal to the 2.0 to 18.0 GHz range. It also down converts a 100 MHz to 18 GHz received signal to the 100 MHz to 4 GHz intermediate frequency range for analog to digital conversion. A receive filter bank incorporates a 2-way absorptive switch to select an input, along with two 6-way switches allowing one of the six filter paths to be chosen. A filter bank is used also on the transmit path, with two 6-way switches allowing one of the six filter paths to the chosen.
