3.1 Hardware system overview
The major modules supplied with RVP10 are:
• IFDR10 Intermediate Frequency Digital Receiver (IFDR), which is typically mounted inside
the radar receiver.
• RVP10SRV server main chassis, which is typically mounted in a 19" EIA rack (radar
cabinet).
RVP10 hardware installation includes mechanical installation and siting, electrical
specifications of the interface signals, system-level considerations, and the standard connector
panel.
Much of the RVP10 I/O is configured through software. Since there is no custom wiring,
internal jumpers, or oscillators, it is easy to insert spare modules.
3.2 IFDR10 hardware
Figure 1 IFDR10
The IFDR10 hardware consists of a printed circuit card assembly contained in a mechanical
housing. The tight metal housing gives the device the maximum noise immunity. The housing
protects the PCB, a heat sink, and an EMI/RFI barrier. The mounting options are designed to be
backwards compatible with RVP901 IFDR. IFDR10 may be mounted flat or upright on either of
its side.
