Ka-BAND ITAR FREE
​

RF&M offers a complete suite of ITAR-FREE (EAR-99) ruggedized products for both Airborne & Ground Mobile Ka-Band systems that have been specifically developed for both legacy and new SATCOM Systems. Both the up & down converters have the ability to electronically switch between the commercial and military Ka/K Bands. Each converter has a number of functions which enable easy integration in legacy and new systems. These include either internal or external reference of either 10 or 50MHz with blanking and attenuation control. By combining these converters with our standard SSPA, a full transceiver can be configured to operate over the 29-31 GHz transmit band and the 19.2-21.2 GHz receive band with just 3 hermetically sealed modules.

Our Standard Airborne SSPA offers 12W minimum linear output power over the full 29-31GHz frequency range. The unit also includes extensive gain control and forward power monitoring. An internal BIT circuit monitors current, thermal and other critical parameters.

RF&M also offers a K-band (19.2-21.2GHz) LNA with 1.6dB noise figure over the full 2 GHz bandwidth. With a total weight of 0.5 lbs and small size, the unit is ideal for today's integrated, light weight Ka-Band terminals.
