As board products have become more integrated and functionally denser, getting RF signals directly on to the board is increasingly desirable. Previous generation blade technology did not always have consistent methods for getting RF to the processing elements on the blade. Often an additional blade was needed to convert the RF to digital and pass the data down the backplane. The new VITA 67 RF Modules from TE Connectivity enhance the ability to add RF capabilities in VPX board-to-board connections over the backplane in a standard fashion. The modular design allows application-specific configurations with high contact counts in VPX systems.
Designed for high-reliability, high-density aerospace and defense applications, VITA 67 modules meet the vibration, environmental, and corrosion resistance requirements of C4ISR applications such as ground base stations and communication systems, land and sea anti-ballistic signal processing, avionics and ground-based radar systems, and electronic countermeasures.
