Compact SOSA-aligned Modules
SCi Blocks™ are a family of 20 MHz to 18 GHz RF solutions available as RF Systems-in-Packages (RFSiPs), RF “sticks,” and SOSA-aligned OpenVPX modules. The first products in the family are digitally tunable downconverters and upconverters designed for EW, SIGINT, and ISR applications and an RF transceiver. All three have up to 16 GHz of spectral coverage with 2 GHz of instantaneous bandwidth. The downconverter stick offers a gain of 25 dB and a noise figure of 14-17 dB, a third-order intercept of 25 dBm, and single-tone spurious rejection of 60 dBc. The upconverter stick has gain of 20 dB, a noise figure of 25 dB, an IP3 of 30 dBm, and single-tone spurious rejection of -55 dBc at -10 dBm input, as well as user-controllable input and output gain control of 31.5 dB in 0.5 dB increments.
