Radio repurposed: Reaping the benefits of RF technology

摘要

Across all domains - air, land, and sea -radio frequency (RF) technology is vital in providing a wide range of advanced capabilities that stretch from basic communications through to force protection, electronic warfare (EW) systems, and theatre-wide communications and intelligence networks. These systems have demonstrated their benefits in recent operations, although applying and managing RF technology can be complex. The shift to multifunction utility may be embodied by the Disruptor SRx system under development by Harris (formerly Exelis). This small reconfigurable device is designed to take advantage of'system-on-chip' technology, in this case with a digital receiver, digital signal processor and digital frequency memory in a single unit.
