A ruggedised microwave transmitter for use in harsh RF environments, such as 'on-board' camera and security applications, where size and weight combined with broadcast quality are important.

The 'Mini' Receiver has been designed specifically for mobile ENG return video applications, military and security operations. This new design concept takes full advantage of the latest state-of-the-art technology using surface mount components.

The receiver offers a simple modular design consisting of three main boards which can be replaced easily. The unit has been fully tested for high reliability with full vibration and temperature tests. The downconverter design is capable of handling severe incoming signal levels.

The frequency range of the Mini Receiver is available from 1.3 to 13 GHz with sixteen selectable channels. The frequency choice of the sixteen channels are factory programmed together with the two audio channels. The audio output will cater for output levels of up to +9dB.
