TC4 LF, HF & V/UHF Modem & ALE Controller Module – 3G, 3, 6 kHz

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
