Product details

The CPI TR61-1010-0X is a 10W X-band GaN transceiver that integrates the OMT, transmit filter, GaN power amplifier, BUC, receive filter, LNB, power supply and control in a single 7 lb package. It mounts directly on the antenna feed, transmitting at 7.9–8.4 GHz and receiving 7.25–7.75 GHz with a 950–1450 MHz IF in both directions.

It delivers +40 dBm (10W) linear output, a 1.3 dB receive noise figure, and low-phase-noise LOs locked to an external 10 MHz reference. It runs on 22–56 VDC (96W typical) and is designed to meet MIL-STD-810G environmental requirements.

Key features

  • 10W (+40 dBm) linear transmit power, GaN amplifier
  • 7.9–8.4 GHz transmit, 7.25–7.75 GHz receive; 950–1450 MHz IF both ways
  • Integrated OMT, Tx and Rx reject filtering, BUC and LNB
  • 1.3 dB receive noise figure
  • Low-phase-noise Tx and Rx LOs locked to an external 10 MHz reference
  • 20 dB gain adjustment on transmit and receive
  • 22–56 VDC, 96W typical; 7.0 lb (3.18 kg)
  • MIL-STD-810G humidity, vibration, salt fog, sand and dust, shock
