FIELD PROVEN
TRANSMISSION MODES

The SKYMASTER mode of the TRC 3600
offers a full range of services enabling simple
and reliable use of the HF band: automatic
link establishment with optimal choice of
frequency, power and data rate for the type of
service selected (voice, data, etc.).
The design of this mode has been optimized to
fulfill the requirements specific to tactical
operations: quick and reliable transmission of
information even in a highly disturbed radio­electrical environment.

(Fig.1)

Capitalizing in its long and unique experience
in HF frequency hopping techniques, the

SKYHOPPER

®

2 mode marries automatic hop

band selection with intelligent frequency
hopping, thus achieving on the field unparalled
quality and reliability performances.

(Fig.2)

Furthermore, optimized FH synchronization
procedures enable to offer first class
operational services, such as fast Turn-Around­Time (< 1 s), multiple selective call or burst alert
message transmissions.

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY

Thanks to its digital advanced technology, the TRC
3600 offers new embedded services: secure high
data rate and digital voice transmissions.

It integrates a high data rate, multiwaveform, single
tone modem (from 75 to 5400 bps) and a vocoder
(800 - 2400 bps) associated to a high security
digital COMSEC chip.

A COMPLETE HF FAMILY

The TRC 3600 can easily be integrated into
a large variety of 20 W (TRC 3610), 125
(TRC 3630) and 400 W (TRC 3640) stations.
Extremely compact and lightweight configurations
can be custom tailored to support various
operational requirements.
Based on power amplifiers with embedded
proximity filters (option) and frequency agile
antenna tuning units wideband hopping capable
(2 MHz), the vehicular stations offer all the
advanced modes and services provided by the
TRC 3600.
The new 125 W NVIS antenna configuration
offers complete vehicle mobility and full
coverage, without the notorious skip zone
problems found in HF.
