HF Transceiver RS150T

Brief description

RS150T will satisfy your HF communication needs meeting the most demanding environmental conditions. Its small size, robust design and easy-to-use characteristics make it the ideal choice for use in vehicles of all kinds, including armoured vehicles with mortars. RS150 T is based on XK2000 technology and makes use of its sophisticated DSP and ALE means.

The transceiver features excellent highfrequency characteristics and intelligent internal control (continuous monitoring of functions on module level), can be easily operated from a detached control unit with an easy -to- read backlit display

RS150T in its basic configuration is capable of transmitting morse, speech and teletype data. All common classes of emission such as SSB (USB, LSB), ISB, AME, CW, FSK, AFSK, weather fax and FM are available. The transceiver covers 1.5 MHz to 30 MHz for TX, 10 kHz to 30 MHz for RX, with 401 freely programmable channels. The unit meets MIL-STD-810 for environment, MIL-STD-461 and EN50081/ 50082 for EMC. State-of-the-art technologies have been used in RS150T, such as digital signal processing in the intermediate-frequency section of the transceiver and the automatic connection unit.

The transceiver comes equipped with ALIS (adaptive automatic link setup) or ALE (automatic link establishment) system (MIL-STD-188-141A).

Typical applications are shortwave telephone and fax, transmission of picture and computer data with 5400 bits/s, data services such as DATA LINK Y, LINK E, LINK 11/LINK 22 and MAHRS expandability.

Communication processors to international standards, fast and reliable data transmission as well as message handling (eg with MERLIN) allow XK2000 to be integrated into modern multimedia systems, thus providing the basis for reliable, worldwide communication independent of existing infrastructures.

ALE Processor GS2200 automatically sets up the optimum radiocommunication link using the adaptive Rohde & Schwarz ALIS 2000 procedure or FED-STD-1045/1046/1049 (MIL-STD-188-141A). As for ALIS, this procedure is 100% compatible with the HF850 family of radio equipment.

Data transmission: Up to 5400 bits/s are possible by means of the internal multimode HF Modem GM2100.
Selectable waveforms are to Rohde & Schwarz standard, MIL-STD-188- 110A and STANAG 4285/4481.
This enables the transmission and reception of telefax messages, computer data, and colour video still pictures, for example. Connection between the data terminal (fax machine, video camera) and XK2000 is made by System Processor MERLIN from Rohde & Schwarz or an equivalent PC with the appropriate software.
