In addition to its new standard-setting phase noise and tuning performance levels, the 6U Transceiver offers a high dynamic range and built-in LO generation with external system reference. At a weight of <2.75 kg, the Transceiver (model TSA-219040) is a compact, ruggedized, and air-cooled system with 75W maximum power consumption.

The VPX Transceiver was developed on a modular platform to address the industry’s interest in compressing development cycles and planning for technology insertion in program life extensions. The architecture allows for tailoring to meet the customer’s needs in terms of tuning speed, phase noise, IBW, and frequency range.
