ARC-PS9
Tuner Module
Purpose:
- Filtering, amplification and conversion of SHF signals to an intermediate frequency.

ARC-PS9 Module
Typical configuration:
- Module of ARC-PS9 controlled tuner
- Software Development Kit.
Features:
- Signal conversion from radio frequency of 8 – 30 GHz to frequency range of 2.7 – 8 GHz with spurious rejection
- Tuning to required frequency with 100 MHz discreteness
- Two independent inputs for frequency ranges of 8 – 18 GHz and 17.7 – 30 GHz
- Switchable input low-noise amplifier
- Controlled input attenuator
- Frequency synchronization from external reference generator (no built-in reference generator)
- Option to power active antenna or amplifier via feeder
- Built-in system of technical diagnostics
- Filtering, amplification and conversion of signals from radio frequency of 2.4 – 30 GHz to an intermediate frequency as a result of joint operation with ARC-PS8.
