RF distribution networks combine multiple functions

Endwave Defense Systems’ series of custom multi-function assemblies (MFAs) for RF power distribution applications provide input filtering, amplification using GaAs MMIC devices, digitally controlled attenuation, and temperature-compensated power distribution of incoming RF signals among eight output ports.

Limiters and equalizers are incorporated onto each signal path to provide flat output power response vs. frequency, and particular care has been taken in the design to provide stringent phase matching and tracking performance. Multiple models have been developed to accommodate multi-octave bandwidths within the 0.5 GHz to 18 GHz range, making them suited for electronic surveillance and signal intelligence (SIGINT) applications.

Each model is hermetically sealed and works over the complete military operating range of -55°C to +85°C. For ordering information, please contact Endwave.
