RF and microwave tuner modules for electronic warfare (EW) and signals intelligence introduced by Mercury
ANDOVER, Mass. – Mercury Systems Inc. in North Andover, Mass., is introducing the AM9018 receive and AM9030 transmit low-power, ultra-compact RF and microwave tuner modules for spectrum processing applications such as signals intelligence (SIGINT), direction finding (DF), and test and measurement applications.
The high-performance and compact size of the AM9018 and AM9030 modules brings fast broadband RF processing to mission-critical operations in harsh environments, where space is at a premium such as in small intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) drones and portable SIGINT systems.
Mercury’s RF and microwave technology provides the agile broadband RF necessary to identify and counter a target’s electronic signals and communications quickly in SIGINT and electronic warfare (EW) applications.
“By developing our own monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) devices, we can design very small tuners -- approximately the size of a few credit cards -- that enable customers to build signal-collection platforms compact enough to fit in a unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), says Clay Couey, senior director and general manager at Mercury Microwave.
Mercury’s RF tuner modules leverage the company’s custom MMIC design capability resulting from Mercury's acquisition late last year of Atlanta Micro Inc. in Norcross, Ga. These custom semiconductor devices enable maximum space savings and broadband performance.
The AM9030 transmit tuner module and AM9018 receive tuner module work at a frequency range of 2 to 18 GHZ, measure 1.4 by 3 by 0.3 inches, and offer 1 GHz of instantaneous bandwidth for fast signal intercept.
