The SR series of receivers from Cobham Surveillance (GMS Products) are advanced technology microwave receivers capable of operation at 350-440 MHz, 1.7-1.85, 2.0-2.7, 4.4-5.0, 6, 7, or 8 GHz bands (for details on X-band receiver, see description below). The SR Series demodulates one video and two audio signals from a composite analog RF source. The receiver is controlled by a microprocessor with an easy to use menu system. C

 

hannel of operation, video, and audio output levels can be selected via the front panel membrane switch. Operational parameters are displayed on the easy to read liquid crystal display including channel, signal strength, output level, and lock status. Both digital and analog representations of signal strength are incorporated to facilitate path alignment. The SR Series receiver can also be controlled with the Cobham Surveillance (GMS Products) hand-held controller via a simple RS-232 interface.

 

The SR Series features an integral Low Noise Amplifier at the RF input with a nominal noise figure of 4 dB. The dual conversion receiver employs a SAW filter at each IF stage for enhanced adjacent channel interference rejection. In addition, the receiver is equipped with an internal low pass filter eliminating the need for an external video filter.

 

The SR Series receiver can be factory configured for either NTSC or PAL formats. Two buffered video output signals are provided at BNC connectors in the SR Series receiver, with balanced audio and composite video available on the rugged 10 pin connector. Low power consumption makes the SR Series ideal for use in remote applications.
