The system is a calibration and distribution network of RF signals from/to the satellite and the measurement system that operates in the L band, it is equipped with a set of phase-stable coaxial cables to allow easy interconnection with the DUT.
The input lines are equipped with a wide-band RF Tapper (40GHz) for feedback of the signals in transit and a programmable delay line.
Furthermore, the system is equipped with a white noise generator and a programmable attenuator to vary the level of noise to be introduced. The device is managed via LAN.
Mechanical description:
The mechanical structure consists of a 19’’ 10U aluminum drawer in which all the RF components, the power supply and the control board are housed.
The cooling system consists of 2 fans suitable for extracting hot air.
