Interference Mitigation Equipment

For severe cosite interference issues, MPG Solutions® Interference Mitigation Equipment provides significant improvements in dynamic range, increasing the range of communication equipment in the presence of local interferers. 


Overview

MPG Solutions® is the premier provider of equipment for communications challenges arising from RF interference. Our products enable military platforms to simultaneously operate multiple radios on the same platform without degradation in performance, range or compromises in CON-OPS. Our Integrated Cosite Equipment (ICE) line of products are incorporated between your radios and antennas to enable simultaneous operation of all your communications, radar, SIGINT/COMINT and other RF systems.

Benefits

RF cosite interference phenomena include the following transmitter and receiver effects:

  • Broadband noise
  • Reverse intermodulation products
  • Spurious and harmonics
  • Gain compression and AM cross-modulation
  • Intermodulation
  • Reciprocal mixing

In typical cosite interference environments, communication links are degraded by tens of decibels. Since every 6 dB of loss halves the radio’s operating range, cosite interference severely degrades communications and, therefore, mission effectiveness. ICE restores the communication link margin, allowing radios to operate at range without compromise to the mission. ICE systems are designed to MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-461, interfacing directly with each transceiver to support modern single channel SATCOM and fast frequency hopping waveforms (e.g. SATURN).
