TIMTER™ Dual Transmitters

Quasonix TIMTER™ dual transmitter

Ultimate Bitstream Accuracy Starts Here

Quasonix digital multi-mode dual telemetry transmitters provide the flexibility of two high performance, independent transmitters in one package. The standard 2.0 inch by 3.0 inch design includes a single MDM-15 interface as a primary connector for power, clock and data, and serial communications, while providing two separate RF outputs via SMA connectors. This configuration is ideal for two antenna applications that utilize Space-Time Coding (STC) or Frequency Diversity. The transmitters are designed to transmit airborne telemetry data from a test article to ground stations.

A legacy side-by-side design is employed in applications requiring bands that currently are not available in the Quasonix TIMTER Multi-mode Dual Telemetry Transmitter.

Thermal Considerations

It is important that the transmitter’s bottom surface (on the face opposite the product label) be securely attached to a baseplate capable of dissipating the power produced by the transmitter model in use. This mounting baseplate must be flat, smooth, and clean.

ATTENTION: You must operate the transmitter with a proper heat sink. Failure to do so may lead to permanent damage to the unit and will void the warranty. Overheating can occur in a matter of seconds when a transmitter is not properly heat-sinked. In absolutely no case should any type of stickers or labels be applied to the bottom surface of the transmitter.

The heat sink required for a particular transmitter depends heavily on the installation. Factors such as altitude, air temperature, air flow, and mass of the mounting surface all have a substantial impact on the flow of heat away from the transmitter. Quasonix offers several types of integrated and add-on heat sinks. Please contact support@quasonix.com for the power dissipation required and heat sink recommendations for your particular TIMTER™ transmitter.

Regardless of the heat sink, Quasonix strongly suggests using a thermal pad, such as Q-Pad® II from Bergquist. See the Henkel site for more information.

    • Correct, there is no FM option available on the dual transmitter. The FM option is for support of legacy systems, but the dual transmitter is designed to support modern modulations.

      Package code will be defined for you once you have settled on all of the features that you want.

  1. The dual transmitter are used with 2 antennas to improve irradiation diagram, so to improve reception data into temetery ground station.
    Into dual transmitter there are some special feature to improve irradiation diagram?
    the dual transmitter has some special connection with stc feature?
    There is some great difference if a use 2 normal transmitter instead dual transmitter.

    Regards
