 FEATURES AT A GLANCE

 125 W power output

 1.6 to 30 MHz

 High efficiency

 High reliability

 System integrated

 MIL-STD 810G Environmental

 Shock Mount

The 3160 auxiliary Power Amplifi er (PA) boosts the RF

output power of the CODAN™ 2110M Transceiver from

25 to 125 W. The Amplifi er is suitable for both vehicular

and base station confi gurations, and provides reliable and

effi cient full duty cycle operation for all modes, including

voice, data and Frequency Hopping.

HIGH PERFORMANCE

The 3160 PA operates over the full 1.6 to 30 MHz HF band with a

maximum power output of 125 W PEP. The Amplifi er is rated for

100% duty cycle for voice and data transmissions while providing

excellent power effi ciency, which can be especially important in

battery operated confi gurations.

A comprehensive range of fault protection capability has been built

in to the design of the Amplifi er, including over temperature, over

voltage, reverse polarity, and antenna load fault conditions.

SYSTEM INTEGRATION

The 3160 PA is effectively “plug and play” when used with the

2110M Transceiver. Control parameters of the Amplifi er have been

kept to a minimum and these are readily available to an operator

from the front panel of the 2110M Transceiver. In the event of a

“jerk and run” scenario, the 2110M Transceiver may be removed

from the 3160 based system without any need for adjustment of

settings. In addition, if there is an amplifi er RF fault, the system

will automatically switch to bypass mode to ensure

communications continue.

MIL-STD-810G ENVIRONMENTAL

With compliance to MIL-STD-810G Environmental standards the

3160 PA is capable of providing reliable performance in the harshest

of fi eld conditions. The 3160 enclosure and connectors are fully

waterproof and an optional shock mount plate is offered for

installations where extremely high levels of vibrations may

be encountered.
