Smart T/R Modules Feature Integrated Digital Micro-Controllers

• Digitally controlled for consistency and accuracy
• Automatically compensates for temperature & frequency
• Adjusts for semiconductor lot-to-lot variations

With integrated digital "smarts" complementing leading-edge microwave transmit and receive components, Endwave is perfecting the cross-over between the analog and digital worlds. Smart T/R modules employ micro-controllers to dynamically compensate for MMIC drift and lot-to-lot performance variation. By shifting functions over to the digital side, your systems benefit from the optimization of timing, accuracy and AGC loop adjustments. Imagine seamless management of adaptive modulation schemes, and the ability to automate the bias, control and monitoring of key components. All of this minimizes the manual set-up, tune, and test time such that modules are delivered with superior reliability and low cost of ownership.
