Mil-Aero 6 GHz Link Output Performance and Gain Selection

The ViaLite Mil-Aero 6 GHz Link Pair features standard gain and high gain options, covering 10 MHz to 6 GHz. The link’s electrical performance is optimized for excellent balance between a low noise figure (NF), high P1dB CP and an industry leading Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR).

The standard or high gain option is selected depending on customer application. With each link pair comprising transmitter and receiver, it is possible to further adjust the gain parameters from the factory default settings to optimize the link performance.

The following tables can be used as a guide for adjusting the gain settings and the corresponding effects on P1dB compression point, IP3, Noise Figure (NF), Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) etc. Adjustment can be made via the SNMP controller, or through the USB-C field controllable option for Blue OEM and Black OEM modules.
