UQPSK Modulator - PSK008

[ Modular Sub-carrier Systems ]

 

The PSK008 UQPSK Modulator accepts two signals ( typically binary command data with clock and a PRN ranging signal) for UQPSK I and Q channel modulation. The bit rate of each data stream may be from DC to 5 Mbps. The modulator generates a subcarrier at a frequency up to 10 MHz. The I/Q channel unbalance is programmable to ±30 dB.

Features

PSK008
  • Unequal PSK (UQPSK) Modulator
  • 10 MHz SubCarrier
    • Sine Wave Output
  • 5 Mbps Data (each input)
  • RS-422 Input Levels
  • All IRIG-106 Data Codes Converted
  • Locks to Station Reference
    • 1, 2, 5, 10 MHz
  • Generates 1 MHz Reference
  • Three Buffered Outputs
    • 2 Fixed Gain
      (2 Vp-p)
    • 1 Variable Gain
      (-30 - +10 dBm)
    • On/Off Control (each output)
  • Programmable Arm Unbalance
  • Single Slot 6U VME Module

The UQPSK modulator generates the subcarrier coherent with an external frequency reference. Modulation can be turned off to provide a continuous wave (CW) subcarrier output. The modulator output level is adjustable from 30 dBm to +10 dBm. Three buffered outputs are provided.

The PSK008 UQPSK Modulator is a single width VME compatible plug-in module, 6U x 160 mm, with a front panel and ejector handles.
