RADIALL

Interconnection solutions for Contra-UAV technology

The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), also known as a drone, is not a new invention. With the first attempts at prototypes as early as the 19th century, UAV technology has come in leaps and bounds since those early models. 21st century drones are compact in size, easy to maneuver, cost-effective to produce, and highly agile. These attributes make the drone an increasingly popular tool for a variety of functions, from use in the film industry to military defense. However, with all good things come obstacles; In the years that the drone has become increasingly ubiquitous, so has the need for technology to neutralize the negative effects of drone use.

The future of SatCom in Defense Communications

In the world of military communications, radio has stood the test of time as the most reliable method of communication. Whether portable or vehicle mounted, radio systems are known for their reliability, durability, and utility in the field. Since its initial use in World War I, radio as a defense communication system has been favored as the primary means of communication for field applications. However, the need to innovate and revolutionize technology is inevitable with an increase in demand for one particular technology: satellite communications systems, or SatCom.

Get to know the connector: ARINC 600

What are ARINC 600 rack and panel connectors?

ARINC 600 connectors are standardized rack and panel connectors used primarily for avionics applications. This modular packaging standard provides mechanical, electrical, and environmental interfaces between line replaceable units (LRUs) and racks or cabinets. It takes the form of a rectangular molded insulator in a metal or composite housing, each of which is provided with application-specific contact combinations in various configurations that support high-speed data, power, signal, and fiber optics ( with adapters). The casings are usually mounted by screws or welding. ARINC 600 connectors are available in twinax, coaxial, and quadrax configurations.

The ARINC 600 is a significant offering available from many connector companies, especially those with experience in the aerospace and military markets.

Configuration advantages:

ARINC 600 connectors can be specified with application-specific insert arrangements for fiber, coaxial and power connections, including twinax and quadrax, Ethernet, Firewire, 100 Base-T and Fiber Channel formats. Inserts are typically field replaceable and many versions provide blind mating.

AnaPico, from Switzerland, presents its APVSG series of vector signal generators (VSG) , which cover frequency ranges from 10 MHz to 4, 6, 12, 20 or 40 GHz and are available in single and multichannel versions. Each channel of the VSG has built-in arbitrary wave signal generation, RF and microwave signal generation, and analog and digital I / Q modulation. These APVSGs models, with their characteristics and adjusted price, are perfectly adapted to a wide range of applications and markets: Quantum Computing , RADAR antenna tests ( Phased Array , etc.), wireless communications (mobile, point-to-point, etc.), radio surveillance, electronic warfare, among others. Internal waveform memory stores 512 million 32-bit samples per sample, and with a maximum sample rate of 500 MSPS, each channel supports a maximum digital modulation bandwidth of 400 MHz. The APVSG has a low phase noise of -125 dBc / Hz at 20 kHz offset from a 10 GHz carrier and harmonic, subharmonic and spurious suppression of> 50 dBc. The switching time is 200 ns. The APVSG incorporates analog (pulse, AM, FM, PM, chirp) and digital (ASK, FSK, PSK, QAM and others) modulation, as well as accepting external analog and digital I / Q signal inputs. Customer-compiled digital I / Q data can be loaded into internal memory for playback and programmed sequential modulation. For more information, click here.
