The QE3 features a compact 64 x 64 RF matrix in 6 RU. Its operating frequency range covers both IF 50-200 MHz and extended L Band 950-2150 MHz. The QE3 is highly scalable and can easily be expanded to a 1024 x 1024. Hot-swappable component cards enable fast and easy replacement (less than 30 seconds) without any special tools or disconnecting any cables. The hot swappable control cards, which operate independently & simultaneously, offer the highest level of redundancy in control. The dual hot swappable power supply provides redundancy in powering. The RF level at the inputs and outputs is monitored to facilitate trouble shooting network interfaces. The programmable automatic gain control (AGC) and attenuation on all inputs allows the user to adjust input signal level for optimum performance.
