CHELMSFORD, Mass. -- May 18, 2015 (GLOBE
NEWSWIRE) -- Mercury Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:MRCY)
(www.mrcy.com), a leading high-tech commercial provider of more
affordable secure and sensor processing subsystems powering today's
critical defense and intelligence applications, today announced the
Ensemble® RFM-1RS18 tuner. This fast-tuning wideband device is the
first tuner in the embedded industry to be developed using OpenRFM™
system building blocks, affordably delivering comprehensive
electromagnetic spectrum coverage for electronic warfare (EW)
applications.
Introduced by Mercury in August 2014, OpenRFM was developed to
solve the challenges of digital and RF/microwave convergence,
spectrum-fusion and maneuverability, complementary system
interoperability, and affordability. OpenRFM uses a modular,
open-architecture approach, standardizing the electromechanical,
software, control plane and thermal interfaces used by integrated
microwave assemblies to streamline the design, integration, and
testing of RF and digital capabilities within sensor processing
systems. OpenRFM design principles are compatible with prevailing
embedded computing industry standards, including 3U and 6U form
factor OpenVPX™ and VXS/VME for EW and Signals Intelligence
(SIGINT) applications.
"OpenRFM's interoperable RF/microwave and digital building
blocks enable sensor processing subsystems to be developed and
deployed more quickly," said Charlie Hudnall, General Manager of
Mercury's Embedded Sensor Products group. "The leverage of proven
IP and best available commercial-item technology means that
OpenRFM-based solutions have high technology readiness levels and
greater interoperability, making subsystem integration smoother and
solutions more robust. Additionally, the modularity of OpenRFM
building blocks enables them to be quickly deployed in a wide
variety of configurations across multiple programs and
applications, which further drives interoperability and
affordability. These features allow system integrators to quickly
configure affordable open systems-architecture-based solutions to
complex EW challenges."
The Ensemble RFM-1RS18 tuner integrates three rugged OpenRFM
modules into a single-width, 6U VXS package. Each package is
comprised of a wideband front-end tuner spanning a range of 0.5 to
18.0 GHz, a quad-converter that delivers four IF outputs and a
synthesizer to ensure coherent outputs from the converter. Each
tuner combines a high-channel density, derived from OpenRFM's three
modules per slot approach with wide, near-instantaneous bandwidth
capability, ultra-fast tuning speed, and low-phase noise
performance all within a low-SWaP package.
