TC4 LF, HF & V/UHF Modem & ALE Controller Module
The TC4 is a high-performance LF, HF and V/UHF modem and ALE controller module. The module is suitable for integration into LF, HF and V/UHF radios. The maximum data rate is 9600 bps full-duplex over a standard 3 kHz voice channel and 19200 bps in 2-ISB.
For V/UHF operation the maximum data rate is 96000 bps in a 25 kHz audio channel.
The operation of the TC4 is determined by the selection of one of the following software packs:
- M1: LF and HF Modem (incl. ISB, Up to 19200 bps)
- M2: HF Modem (SSB, Up to 9600 bps)
- M3: HF Modem (SSB, broadcast, Up to 2400 bps)
- M4: HF Modem (SSB, S4539, Up to 9600 bps)
- V1: V/UHF Modem (Up to 96000 bps)
- V2: V/UHF Modem (Up to 48000 bps)
The following software options are available for software packs M1-M4:
- 2G ALE Controller Software Option
- STANAG 4538 (3G ALE) Modem Option
