Universal interface between HF transceivers and R&S^®Series002 ATUs

The R&S^®GX002 junction unit provides an interface between an HF transceiver (TRX) system (Rohde & Schwarz or third-party system) and the R&S^®Series 002 antenna tuning unit (ATU). The main task of the R&S^®GX002 is to supply and control supported Rohde & Schwarz ATUs. To simplify installation and system integration, the R&S^®GX002 comes with ATU-specific interfaces. All connectors are on the rear panel. The status LEDs and the on/off switch are on the front panel.

Features & benefits

High compatibility with various transceivers

Universal transceiver control interface and power supply

The junction unit handles all communications to and from the transceiver. Thanks to universal transceiver control interfaces such as LAN, coaxial and optical ports, the junction unit can work with the latest shortwave transceivers, with older Rohde & Schwarz transceivers in legacy applications and with transceivers from other manufacturers.

AC or ground-isolated DC power supply

The R&S^®GX002 handles the power supply for any connected ATUs or antennas. AC is the preferred power supply. The R&S^®GX002 automatically adapts to the AC voltage supply. DC operation is also possible. The junction unit also has an AC power supply with DC fallback. If the AC power supply fails, DC power ensures uninterrupted operations.

Simple and reliable wiring

HF-cable-only interface

The R&S^®GX002 features a single RF socket for connecting the ATU/antenna. One cable carries all the signals (RF, power supply and control), making installation both easier and more reliable.

Intelligent BITE

Diagnostic system, status by LED or remote query

The R&S^®GX002 features intelligent built-in test equipment (BITE) that determines the status of the junction unit, the connected ATU/antenna and the overall system. The LEDs on the front panel of the junction unit display the status. Remote queries can be made for more information, which is very useful during troubleshooting.
