VCT SERIES PRODUCT FAMILY

What is it?

• 4-port filter/multicoupler subsystem.
• Filter tuning remotely controlled.
• Includes  4 tunable bandpass 4-pole filters, extremely-low-loss, 4-port impedance matching network with low pass filter for harmonics suppression.

What does it do?

• Enables 4 transceivers to operate simultaneously with each radio on its own antenna in the 108-174 MHz range, in any combination of transmit/receive modes.  
• Accepts serial remote control to 7,000 frequencies per filter for filter tuning.

What is it?

• A dual-path filter system (also called a “Diplexer”) that includes a tuneable bandpass filter for 225-400 MHZ and a fixed bandpass filter for 243 MHz guard frequency.
• Filter tuning and path switching are remotely controlled.

What does it do?

• The 225-400 MHz tuneable bandpass filter adds to the isolation between separate antennas to enable multiple collocated radios to operate simultaneously in the 225-400 MHz range.
• When a radio with built in guard is in receive mode, this dipexer enables the radio to receive at its main freqnecy and at the 243 MHz guard frequency simultaneously.

What is it?

• A dual-path filter system that includes a tuneable bandpass filter for 108-152 MHZ and a fixed lowpass filter for 30-88 MHz.  .
• Filter tuning and path switching are remotely controlled.

What does it do?

• The 108-152 MHz tuneable bandpass filters add to the isolation between separate antennas to enable multiple collocated radios to operate simultaneously in the 108-152 MHz range.
• The 30-88 MHz fixed lowpass filter reduces interference above the 30-88 MHz range.

What is it?

• Dual 2-port filter/multicoupler subsystem.
• Filter tuning remotely controlled.
• Includes  4 tunable bandpass 4-pole filters, 2 extremely-low-loss, 2-port impedance matching networks each with a low pass filter for harmonics suppression.

What does it do?

• Combines two pairs of Tunable Filters, and connects each pair to one of two antenna ports. 
• Produce maximum isolation when two channels in the ATC comms band (118-137 MHz) and two channels in the Maritime band (156-163 MHz) need to operate simultaneously. 
• Alternately, two channels within the same band can be combined onto one antenna with moderate isolation when an adjacent channel separation (ACS) of at least 3 MHz is observed.

What is it?

• A stand-alone, 380-500 MHz, 3-pole, 3 inch cavity, tuneable bandpass filter.

• Filter tuning remotely controlled.

What does it do?

The 225-500 MHz tuneable bandpass filters add to the isolation between separate antennas to enable multiple collocated radios to operate simultaneously in the 225-500 MHz range.

What is it?

• A stand-alone, 225-400 MHz, 4-pole, 2 inch cavity, tuneable bandpass filter.
• Filter tuning remotely controlled.

What does it do?

The 225-400 MHz tuneable bandpass filter adds to the isolation between separate antennas to enable multiple collocated radios to operate simultaneously in the 225-400 MHz range.

What is it?

• A stand-alone, 108-174 MHz, 4-pole, 4 inch cavity, tuneable bandpass filter.
• High transmit power and receive
• Does not require an RFPinc impedance matching network. 
• Filter tuning remotely controlled.

What does it do?

• The 108-174 MHz tuneable bandpass filters add to the isolation between separate antennas to enable multiple collocated radios to operate simultaneously in the 108-174 MHz range.
• Filter tunes from 108-174 MHz to cover Navigation, ATC, Land Mobile and Maritime bands.

What is it?

• Tunable bandpass 4-polefilter module that can plug into any of three mounts each with an impedance matching network and lowpass filter:
  • Single filter mount.
  • Two filter mount.
  • Four filter mount.
• Filter tuning to 7,000frequencies from 225 to400 MHz, remotely controlled.
• The filter module is not a stand-alone item and needs a mount with a built-in impedance matching network for operation.
• A 3-port configuration is possible by plugging an Unused Port Termination (UPT) in place of a tuneable filter which equates to lower initial purchase cost + built-in growth.
• Does not include Cross Tuning Prevention.

What does it do?

• Enables up to 4 transceivers to operate simultaneously on 1 antenna in the 225-400 MHz range, in any combination of transmit/receive modes.
• Accepts serial remote control to 7,000 frequencies per filter for filter tuning.
• Reduces spares costs because the same part number filter module plugs into any of the 3 different mounts. For example, an aircraft can use a 1-port mount and a 2-port mount and a 3-port but use the same filter part number across all of the aircraft mounts.
• This works especially well in aircraft where filters are needed for both flight deck radios and the mission radios but the flight deck must be separate than the mission systems.

What is it?

• UHF Switched Output Multicoupler (USOM).
• Configured as a dual 3-port filter/multicoupler subsystem with a direct output 4th filter .
• Four tunable bandpass 3-pole filters.
• Two extremely-low-loss, 3-port impedance matching networks with low pass filters for harmonics suppression.
• 3 filters that can independently connect through either of the 2 3-port combiners, or bypass the combiners. 
• 4th filter that can independently connect between different output connections.
• Any or all of the 4 filters can be bypassed for operation in frequencies not in the filter’s UHF range.
• Automated filter output switching termination.
• Filter tuning and RF path switching remotely controlled.

What does it do?

• Enables collocated multi-band radios to operate in different bands and modes simultaneously while also suppressing cosite interference.
• Enables filtered operation in non-hopping UHF LOS or in UHF SATCOM.
• Reduces antenna population by enabling up to 3 transceivers to operate simultaneously in transmit or receive modes on one antenna.  
• Can be used stand-alone or as part of RFPinc’s ARC-233 Multi-Mode, Multi-Band RF Distribution System (M3B RFD).
