The RRM8894010-M1D from RFHIC is a Transceiver Module that operates from 8.8 to 9.4 GHz. In Tx mode, it uses GaN technology to provide an output power of 10 W (pulse width 100 µs (max.), duty cycle up to 20%) and has harmonics of -30 dBc. In Rx mode, it provides a gain of more than 31 dB with a noise figure of less than 4 dB and includes a limiter for receiver protection. This module has a Tx/Rx switching time of less than 500 ns and uses a circulator to implement a duplexer function of Tx and Rx. It also includes a 6-bit digital attenuator with an attenuation range of 31.5 dB (LSB of 0.5 dB) and a 6-bit digital phase shifter with a phase shift range of 354.625° (LSB of 5.625°).
The RRM8894010-M1D can be controlled and check module status information using serial data communication. It is also designed to store and utilize necessary information in the system by the built-in EEPROM. This module requires a DC supply of 6/24 V. It is available in a housing that measures 112 x 48 x 17 mm with an SMP (male) connector and is ideal for use in X-Band radars and active electronically scanned array (AESA) antenna systems.
