What are the power requirements for the VLF Preamplifier/Filters?
28 VDC from VLF Preamp/Filter Control Panel
What is the function of the VLF Preamplifier/Filters?
to receive incoming VLF signals from the VLF Receive Antenna and to amplify, combine, and distribute the signals to the MMRTSs
From where do the VLF Preamplifier/Filters receive the signal?
2 incoming VLF signals from the VLF Receive Antenna
By how much do the VLF Preamplifier/Filters amplify RF signals?
approximately -23 dB (14 KHz) to 11 dB (60 KHz)
What is used to reject the onboard VLF transmitted signal?
a bank of 6 Notch Filters (band reject filters) covering the 17- to 30-KHz frequency band
In AUTO mode, the transmitted frequency will be attenuated by…
at least 57 dB
How do the VLF Preamplifier/Filters provide in-house loopback capability?
by injecting a signal from the SSPA/C Input Module directly into the MMRT Receive System
