COMPACT DESIGN
Designed to fit into tight spaces within military vehicles, the Afracal 1 amplifier range is one of the most compact available.
DATA
High data rates can be maintained due to the exceptional linearity.
INSTALLATION
Purpose built base station and vehicular mount racks are available to facilitate quick extraction, cooling and vibration damping.
MIL-STD-810G
Powder-coated T6-Aluminium casing ensures compliance to MIL-STD- 810G
specifications.
POWER SUPPLY
The Afracal 1 amplifiers can operate from 12 - 36VDC. The connected radio is supplied with a stable 12VDC simplifying power supply configurations and reducing cabling.
ATU
The Afracal 1 - H RF Amplifier facilitates a connection to external high power antenna tuners converting radio RS232 to robust RS485 control signals for extended installation distances between the amplifier and the tuner.
SET-UP
Set-up is automatically performed by the connected radio.
