Mercury Systems, Inc. announced the new RFM3202 sensor open systems architecture (SOSA) aligned wideband transceiver for demanding spectrum processing applications. With four high-bandwidth frequency-conversion channels, the new RFM3202 can achieve what previously required multiple products, enabling much-needed capabilities for smaller platforms. Next-Generation Performance in a Compact and Standardized Form Factor: Includes two up-conversion channels and two down-conversion channels; Delivers 2 GHz of instantaneous bandwidth per channel; Tunable frequency range of 2–18 GHz; Integrated channel-independent local oscillators; 3U OpenVPX™ compliant and SOSA aligned design. With multiple high bandwidth channels, the RFM3202 transceiver offers differentiating performance to electronic warfare, electronic intelligence, radar, and spectrum processing applications.

The transceiver expands Mercury's broad portfolio of RF processing and direct conversion modules, and when coupled with Mercury's DCM3220 digitization module, it can digitize and process the selected 2 GHz for a full sensor-chain solution.
