R&S®VK3150C
150 W HF compact
power amplifier
Brief description
The R&S®VK3150C is an HF power amplifier for the
R&S®MR300xU and R&S®MR300xH manpack radios. The
R&S®VK3150C makes it possible to configure very compact
HF stations with a maximum output power of 150 W.
The power amplifier is therefore ideal for mobile deployment
scenarios in tactical radio applications. Like the
R&S®VT3050C, its VHF/UHF counterpart, all R&S®MR300x
manpacks can be operated as exciters by simply plugging
them into the amplifier. If the need arises for a portable
radio during the mission, the manpack can be easily removed
from the power amplifier, without having to disconnect
cables or use tools. The R&S®VK3150C seamlessly
and fully supports all Rohde & Schwarz HF waveforms, including
frequency hopping and ALE processes.
The power amplifier comes with a wide range of standard
interfaces, such as audio and Ethernet, as well as interfaces
to a VHF/UHF power amplifier and antenna couplers
for smooth system integration. The R&S®VK3150C also offers
options that allow, for example, external cryptographic
devices to be used.
Key features
❙❙Frequency range from 1.5 MHz to 30 MHz
❙❙Output power of 150 W PEP
❙❙Extremely compact, easy to install on all mobile
platforms
❙❙Wide input voltage range
❙❙Full support of frequency-agile HF waveforms (EPM,
ALE)
❙❙Optical and coaxial ATU interface
❙❙Upgradeable to multiband operation (interface for
R&S®VT3050 VHF/UHF power amplifier, 1.5 MHz to
512 MHz)
Options
Field telephone interface
This option provides a two-wire interface to connect the
amplifier to a field telephone. The operator can select four
modes for routing telephone calls from and to the radio:
❙❙Audio-Radio: audio interface connected to radio
❙❙Radio-Phone: field telephone connected to radio
❙❙Audio-Phone: field telephone connected to audio
interface
❙❙Audio-Radio-Phone: field telephone connected to radio
and audio interface
Audio/data interface
This option provides a versatile audio/data interface including
power lines, audio, data and control signals. It is used
to connect external devices such as an ELCRODAT 4-2,
R&S®MMC3000 or KY57 cipher unit.
