2-18GHz Digitising Receiver
DR068-M1
Teledyne Defence & Space (TDS) DR068-M1 Digitising Receiver combines a state of the art broadband frequency measurement receiver with a high dynamic range successive detection log video amplifier to realise a high probability of intercept receiver. Digital signal processing techniques are utitlised to derive pulse parameters which are packaged into a PDW and transferred via a low latency Gigabit Ethernet interface. The DR068-M1 enables new and existing systems to incorporate a wideband high POI pulse detection capability with minimal integrating effort.

Block Downconverter
RQ028
Teledyne Defence & Space (TDS) down converters are designed to convert digitised, band limited RF signal down to a lower frequency signal. These modules are used to reduce input signal which allows lower speed processors to better process fast incoming signals. A wideband mmW block downconverter suitable for extending the operational bandwidth of other devices into this range. With LO signals at 32GHz and 44GHz, two operational bands are available. Other frequency plans with and without pre-selection can be offered on request.

Activity Detection Unit
DG009-M1
Many advanced EW receivers, particularly those associated with ECM jamming systems, do not require the high resolution frequency information associated with a DFD or IFM based receiver. This is typically the case where a single pulse present within a broad frequency band is required to be detected and instantaneously down-converted to an IF band.TDS manufactures a range of Frequency Activity Detectors (FADs) also known as Activity Detection Units (ADU) which perform frequency measurement of an RF pulse and output data in as little as 15ns. The basis of these products is TDS’s ability to produce high performance broadband channelisers and integrated detectors. These devices are ideal for receivers which must operate in very high pulse density environments.

0.5-18GHz Switch Multiplexer
SA004
Teledyne Defence & Space’s (TDS) patented designs have produced many different types of filters incorporating switches. These are all generally wideband for Electronic Warfare applications and enable the control of the frequency spectrum into any given system. These units, also known as Switch Multiplexers, are configured with a single or multiple inputs to single or multiple filtered outputs.As an example, the SA002 features 8 channels switchable over the frequency range 2-18 GHz while the SA004 offers 17 channels over the 0.5-18GHz bandwidth. Each provides the user with a fast, flexible, filter network capable of providing different band-pass or band-stop responses on a pulse-by-pulse basis in dense signal environments.

2-18GHz Instantaneous Frequency Measurement Unit
DR058-F2
Teledyne Defence & Space’s Instantaneous Frequency Measurement (IFM) module, also known as a Digital Frequency Discriminator (DFD), offers high speed frequency measurement across the full operating bandwidth.The IFM measures the frequency of RF signal present at its input and presents a result at its output as digital data. The RF input signal is conditioned by an RF amplifier that provides sufficient drive for the frequency resolving circuits. The raw video from the resolvers is digitised and processed into the required output format. There is additional timing and control circuitry which initiates the measurement process and provides handshake data to the host system processor.

Frequency Synthesiser
RA062-F2
The RA062-F2 is a multiple LO module used to generate three pairs of LO signals, each pair being phase matched in order to provide the capability to drive two phase and amplitude matched, high sensitivity narrowband receivers such as might be required for an EW receiver system with DF functionality.The Stepped Frequency Synthesiser is based upon Direct Frequency Synthesis, DFS, whereby the 1GHz input reference signal is multiplied, filtered and mixed to generate a given number of isolated and filtered single tone CW signals from the 1GHz comb. A finely tuned signal is then generated using a multi-way switch to select between the 1GHz spaced CW tones and mixed with fine resolution signals generated using a custom DDS/VCO PLL network. In this way finely tuned signals can be generated between 7.5GHz and 23GHz.

High-Power Tunable Filter
CB503
The need for tunable filter technology originates from the fact that high power communication systems and IED Jammer transmitters severely limit the use of tactical radio communication systems on the battlefield.This clash within the radio’s spectrum during tactical missions is often de-conflicted using fixed high Q, high power RF bandpass and bandstop filters installed prior to mission. This can limit operational effectiveness due to the potentially large number of fixed filters required within the allocated radio communication channels, which need be transported, stored in the field, and fitted by trained personnel. Many of these fixed filters centred within the octave wide tuning range could be replaced by a single high-Q tunable filter.

Fast Tuned Notch Filter
ES005 & ES006
Teledyne Defence & Space’s (TDS) range of Fast Tuned Notch Filters (FTNF) have been designed to protect Electronic Support Measures (ESM) receivers from high duty cycle, frequency agile interference produced by on board (or cohort) combat radar systems. ESM sensors often need protection from high power nearby radars, and such signals can reduce receiver dynamic range.

Radar Electronic Support Receiver
RR024
The RR024 is designed for Radar Electronic Support (RES) and Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) applications where high performance and small size are of prime importance, with filtering, amplification, detection and pulse parameter measurement being combined into one multi-function unit. Four amplitude measurement channels allow direction finding by amplitude comparison between adjacent antennas. An IFM, fed from one of the amplitude channels via an SPDT switch, performs 14 bits of frequency measurement on the selected input. Frequency resolution is nominally 1 MHz over a 2 to 18 GHz band.
