SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL

JetWave™ System

• RF component kit - fuselage mount configuration only. (tail platforms installation kits

containing RF interconnects are available depending on aircraft type).

• OAE installation kit (optional, for ARINC 79

1 style configuration only).

• The antenna includes an aperture.

• Th

e OAE is powered by the KANDU.

• Contains an LNA for amplification of signals in the receive path.

• Includes the mechanical pointing system, positioner, motors and sensors, and an IMU to detect

movement of the platform.

• The TMA or FMA accepts the transmit Ka-band signal from the KRFU.

• The TMA or FMA antenna K-band receive path is amplified by the LNA and sent to the KRFU.

• The TMA or FMA receives power from the KANDU.

• The TMA or FMA accepts the control interface from the KANDU and lets the antenna aperture

report status, BITE, and IMU position back to the KANDU.

• RF component kits are available for both ARINC 791 Style and Non ARINC 791 style configura-

tions. The RF component kit includes: Tx waveguide, Rx coax cable, Rx coax to waveguide

adapter, sealing o-rings, and waveguide and adapter attachment.

• Radome packages are unique to each fuselage and can be made up of the kits that follow:

NOTE: Not all aircraft will have a skirt fairing.

B. KRFU

• Is made up of a BUC to convert the transmit IF frequencies (950-1950 MHz) to Ka-band

fre

encies (29-30 GHz)

• An HPA to increase the signal strength for transmission by the antenna

• Contains a BDC to convert the received K-band frequencies (19.2-29.2 GHz) to IF (950-1950

MHz)

• Accepts 115 VAC aircraft power.
