The Mobile Telemetry Rack (MTR) integrates state-of-the-art telemetry capabilities utilizing the RTR-X4 & GMDR recorder providing the ideal portable telemetry checkout system, able to receive demodulation, record, process and display your data throughout your system development.

Based on the Cortex architecture, the 4U chassis-based CORTEX RTR-X4 can support up to four channels providing the utmost flexibility and capability a Telemetry Receiver can achieve.

The GMDR Chapter 7 recorder fits particularly well for the flight test support where operability and flexibility is essential. Not only the does the Telemetry rack provide a rich set of features, the Dell Server comes with the standard Safran software tools you expect: D4 Recorder, C10 Extract, eZ Viewer Data Verification and Quick Look Software.

Additionally, multiple projects can be supported by just swapping out the OS & media drives in support of classified projects.

Southwest Microwave offers an array of field replaceable cable connectors, direct solder cable connectors and direct solder flange mount cable terminations. Contact us for high-performance .047, .086 and .141 flex cable assemblies or harnesses up to 110 GHz, delivering the industry’s lowest VSWR and insertion loss.

Coaxial cable assembly suitable for fixed wiring inside and between equipment used in the microwave band up to 100GHz (continuous operating temperature range: -30 to +85°C).

These cables have excellent formability (shape-retention capability) that make wiring work easy and exhibit superior loss characteristics compared to semi-rigid cables.

Standard connectors are SMA (m) straight connectors, although other connectors can be used as required.

See "Specifications & Details" tab for more information. 

Southwest Microwave’s high performance End Launch Connectors are designed to provide low VSWR, mode-free wide responses up to 125 GHz for single and multilayer microstrip or grounded coplanar printed circuit boards. Available in SMA (27 GHz), 2.92 mm (40 GHz), 2.40 mm (50 GHz), 1.85 mm (67 GHz) and 1.0 mm (125 GHz).

Male and female options along with narrow body and bulkhead feed-through. Unique clamping mechanism accommodates board thickness up to .300” (7.62 mm). Robust, reusable and repairable. Multiple launch configurations provide the best possible match to circuit layout. Works on microstrip and grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) designs. Signal-layer microstrip and GCPW test boards available. Soldering is optional.
