Compact HF Matrix Series
- • Modular design
- • Frequency Range 2-30MHz
- • Fast Solid State Switching Option
- • High Isolation
- • High 2nd and 3rd Order
The ARK7125 Series HF Compact Matrix is an active, non-blocking switching matrix covering the frequency range 2MHz to 30MHz. There are two options available in the compact form factor 2x8 and 4x8 with each output having independent access to any input, irrespective of the number of outputs being connected to the same input.
The equipment is housed in a 3U 19inch rack mounting chassis and can be controlled from either of two RS232/422 Serial Interface control ports; one intended for local control, the other for remote control.
The matrix has been designed for use in a ground benign environment, typically being installed in a 19-inch rack cabinet as part of an HF receiving system for communications or monitoring purposes. Each input channel is manufactured as a separate RF Multicoupler PCB assembly, containing a high performance HF amplifier and power splitter. The outputs from the multicoupler PCBs are connected to reed relay switch PCB's of which one for each output is used.
