The THPR1021 from Triad RF Systems is a 2-channel High-Power Radio that operates from 4400 to 4940 MHz. This radio integrates the necessary RF amplification, control circuitry, and interfaces to achieve higher RF output power, greater throughput, and longer link distances compared to standalone radios. It combines Silvus Streamcaster SC4210P-467-O OEM radio at its core with Triad’s high-power RF subsystems in a low SWaP package. This radio consists of bidirectional amplifiers (BDAs), RF filtering, innovative SoC-based monitoring, and controls with link diagnostics. It requires a single positive DC supply of +24 V and consumes 3.4 A (low data rate) and 1.7 A (high data rate) of current.
The THPR1021 cools the system based on a conduction/convection-based forced air mechanism and requires a separate cooling fan for support. It delivers an output power of 10 W (low datarate, per channel) and 2 W (high data rate, per channel). This radio can independently shut each BDA module automatically when the baseplate has reached approximately +90°C and will remain in the OFF state until the temperature has dropped to approximately 10°C below the thermal trip point. It is available in an IP68-rated module that measures 4.86 x 4.81 x 1.78 inches with TNC (female) connectors and is ideal for long-distance high datarate ISR links, UAS, UGV, and USV video/data links, maritime high-throughput LOS/NLOS systems, and military MANET applications.
