Overview

Despite the ultra compact form factor, the receiver attains exceptional high performance characteristics, suitable for advanced ELINT / SIGINT/ RESM operations. The design utilises MPG SWaP technological advances to maintain performance in an ultra compact footprint.

Benefits

Built into MPG Solutions® EW receivers, better sensitivity and a means of operating in a complex signal environment offering a Higher Point of Intercept (POI):

  • Frequency range of 2 to 18 GHz
  • A frequency resolution of 3.93 MHz with pulse capability of 50nS up to Continous Wave (CW)
  • Significant dynamic range of the receiver greater than -70 to +10 dBm
  • Multiple and simultaneous signal capabiltiies and full jammer immunity

Receivers deliver exceptional high performance and are suitable for advanced ELINT/SIGINT and RESM operations. Ultra-fast switching speeds maintain pace with the most demanding platform requirements.

Problems Solved

The receiver consists of three highly integrated main building blocks:

FRONT END PRE-SELECTOR:
A high performance ultra compact preselector provides exceptional levels of broadband filtering utilising our thin-film filtering technology.

LOCAL OSCILLATOR:
The integrated LO utilises a novel concept to achieve an impressive small size, with exceptional levels of performance — DDS technology, and micro-miniature proprietary microwave tuneable filtering technology being at the heart of the concept.

DOWN CONVERTER:
The down converter architecture and frequency plan has been carefully formulated to maximise SFDR whilst still offering a wide IBW. Despite the levels of integration, flexibility is offered in final IF output frequency and bandwidth to suite almost any system level implementation.
