Wireless radio transceiver nXCVR-3140A-2

for aircraft

The nXCVR-3140A-2 IP transceiver is designed for air-to-ground and ground-to-air wireless TmNS-based communications. The transceivers work together to perform wireless router functions, transparently connecting two or more radios in a point-to-point or multipoint configuration. Bandwidth is shared among the multiple users; each radio is allocated zero, one or more timeslots to transmit packets and is receiving at all other times. Timeslots can be statically or dynamically allocated during network operation. The TmNS transceiver has a 100/1000BASE-T Ethernet interface for the primary routed interface, multiple serial ports for external device control, a high-speed Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) processor, and a power-efficient RF transmitter and receiver module. The transceiver incorporates the latest SOQPSK technology and power-efficient capability to achieve maximum transmission and reception distance under harsh environmental conditions. The nXCVR-3140A-2 transceiver has a fixed signal bandwidth of 15.6 MHz and the data rate is fixed at 20 Mbps. The IP transceiver fully complies with the IRIG 106-17 standard for processing speed, waveform compliance, and RF output power and supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for remote management and monitoring. The nXCVR-3140A-2 transceiver has the following I/O connectors: Gigabit Ethernet, serial console, auxiliary signals, a power connector, a GPS antenna connector, and an RF antenna connector.
