TTX6/VTX6 SERIES
RUGGEDIZED TELEMETRY
AND

VIDEO TRANSMITTERS

The TTX6/VTX6 Series of rugged and compact 6 Cubic Inch Transmitters are designed for Telemetry (TTX) or Video (VTX) applications. True FM modulation is used for digital data and digital or analog video in airborne, mobile, and ground installations. In wide use in Aircraft, Target Drone, UAV, RPV, Helicopter, Telemetry and Data Link applications, these units are frequency agile over the full telemetry band. Many optional features are available to meet most system requirements including output power from 2 watts to 5 watts

KEY FEATURES
Telemetry and Video Applications L-Band or S-Band Operation 2 or 5 Watt RF Output Small size and weight (6 cu. in. / 12 oz.) Fixed Frequency or Frequency Agile in 1 MHz Steps Flat or CCIR-405 Video PreEmphasis Low Power Consumption

and data rate capability up to 20 Mbps. The transmitters are designed using surface mount technology with phase-locked loop and microstrip techniques to keep the physical package size to a minimum, and to maximize efficiency and reliability. An internal isolator is used to allow continuous operation into an infinite VSWR without permanent degradation. Operation over a temperature range of -20C to +71C baseplate is standard, extended temperature ranges are available. The TTX6/VTX6 Series can be ordered with the following options: data rate response, pre-mod filter, CCIR-405 preemphasis for NTSC, PAL, or SECAM video modulation, optional connector types, remote frequency selection, and extended temperature range.
