Triad, a leading designer and AS9100 certified manufacturer of high-power radios, RF/Microwave bi-directional amplifiers, custom multi-functional amplifier systems, and power amplifiers, is providing multi-function amplifier assembly modules to satisfy the needs of their customers of reduced size and power draw.
Following is the List of Multi-function Modules Provided by Triad:
The TA1206 module is custom-designed amplifier with Tx/Rx switch for a low SwAP, military SDR application and is an advanced Tx/Rx module that covers 300 MHz - 6 GHz. Variants of the TA1206 can operate down to 20 MHz. It contains a high gain power amplifier section, a 4-channel switched filter bank, and an Rx through path, which can be replaced with an LNA section. The module is capable of high-speed switching of 1uS and accepts a wide input voltage range of 20-36VDC.
The TTRM1111D is a dual bi-directional amplifier assembly that was designed for the RF-7800W HCLOS radio. It features two independent MIMO Tx/Rx sections that operate from 4400-6000 MHz at a peak power of 10W. A highly linear RF lineup allows for low SNR transmission of waveforms of up to 256QAM modulation. Designed for outdoor applications, it has passed many MIL-STD-810G tests, including the following test methods: 514.6 Vibration, 505.5 Solar Radiation, 506.5 Blowing Rain, and many others. It is also qualified to several MIL-STD-461E test methods for EMI/EMC. It is also coated with CARC paint.
The TTRM1116 is an L-band, lightweight Transmit / Receive module that operates from 1200-1400 MHz and is capable of 40W output at efficiencies of greater than 30%. It contains a 3-level gain control section, and an internal DC-DC converter to accept input voltages from 10-28VDC. The unit also features a user-controllable bypass feature for when amplification is not required. The bypass feature is also fail-safe and becomes an RF through-path to the system in the event supply voltage from the module is removed.
Triad manages to reduce the size and power consumption by combining disparate, discrete RF modules into a single Integrated Multi-Function Amplifier Assembly (IMA). The IMA approach significantly reduces interconnect losses and matching issues between active and passive components. Compared with traditional integration of connectorized components, their IMAs yield a more efficient, robust, and compact end product with the ability to monitor all of its subcomponents. Triad’s designs cover operating frequencies up to 40 GHz and power levels in the hundreds of watts which is required in defense, aerospace, and state of the art radio system applications.
All IMAs are designed manufactured at Triad’s AS-9100D Certified NJ facility.
