The Model 4455 Digital RF Receiver is a state-of-the-art receiver that provides: a compact, cost competitive, flexible solution to a wide variety of communications link scenarios. The 1U Rack Mountable Chassis is available in a dual channel configuration with diversity combiner. Each channel is completely independent and is able to acquire on three (3) RF Bands: S Band; Upper L Band, Lower L Band, and optional C Band or P (CIF) Band. Other Multi-Band options are available.

The demodulation process, as well as the baseband bit synchronization process, is totally performed in the digital domain. Signal acquisition is performed by scanning the IF within the programmed acquisition band centered about the selected Carrier frequency. The Input Waveform is additionally scanned for acquisition at the subcarrier frequencies. Once signal acquisition is complete, synchronized signal tracking is performed whereby continuous validation of the lock state is maintained.

A variety of optional FEC decoders are available and two fully programmable frame synchronizers (pattern detection) are provided with the bit synchronizer option. The MD4455 receiver can specifically be configured to mitigate noisy/congested environments through the use of

  • Low Density Parity Check (LDPC*) coding to improve link margin while using less bandwidth,
  • Adaptive Equalization (AEQ*) to mitigate multipath distortion.
  • Advanced Diversity Combiner Functions (AGC & Data Quality) for superior performance in the presence of multi-path

An Encapsulated data and data-quality output may be included that supports the GDP Best Source Selector products. RCC DQE/DQM is also supported.

NETWORK DIRECT MODE!
The MD4455 Receiver can optionally be configured to accept your IRIG Chapter 7* downlink, bit/Frame synchronize and output your IRIG Chapter 10/11* UDP packet to your favorite Analysis package or our Acroamatics Decoms or Wideband Network recorder simultaneously. IRIG 218-2010 & 2010 can also be accommodated directly. UDP/IP transport is provided for raw data or byte aligned data output.
