Mercury Computer Systems (formerly Micronetics)
has developed a series of Receiver Front-End Modules
(FEM Series) that combine standard circuit functional
elements into a single compact
sealed housing
(in various frequency bands from 2 - 26.5 GHz).
This series of multifunction modules combine elements
that include limiters, circulators, LNAs and noise
sources that can be switched in for built-in-test
(BIT). By combining
these elements into one circuit
board design, noise figure is minimized due to reduction
of the coaxial interconnections; additionally there
are benefits that include smaller size and lower
cost.
Micronetics offers single and dual
channel Receiver Front-End Modules, each design
is verified for performance for all specification
parameters including high power testing using a
thermal imaging
camera for maximum field reliability.
