Antenna Switch Modules
This multi-octave high power switch connects 3 antennas to 2 transmitters at 10 kW and 3 antennas to 2 receivers with filtering and limiting. It also provides a path allowing a calibration signal to be connected to a bypass or two receivers through 70 dB couplers. This unit has internal +28V to -100V conversion and a monitoring circuit that checks the reverse leakage of all 36 high-power diodes.
