T-4180 HF DSP EXCITER

HALF-RACK

The T-4180 is a high performance computer-

controlled 1.6 to 30 MHz HF DSP Exciter

FEATURES

• Frequency Range: 1.6 to

30 MHz

• Incorporates digital signal

processing (DSP) for greater

linearity and spectral purity

• User-friendly menu-driven

display

• Exceptional tuning speed,

2 msec typical, 4 msec

maximum (10 MHz step)

• Operating modes: LSB, USB,

ISB, AM, FM, CW, FSK, FMfax,

LSBfc, LSBpc, USBfc and

USBpc

• Integral post selector minimizes

harmonic and spurious outputs

• 250 preprogrammable

channels

• Rugged construction - three

individually shielded modules,

in addition to the power supply

• Surface mount technology for

superior reliability

• Outstanding MTBF: 15,000

hours over temperature

• Full function remote control:

RS-232 or RS-422

• BITE and BIT - isolation to the

module level
