MODEL 310B

LONG RANGE MICROWAVE LINK

K-BAND PERFORMANCE WITH NARROW BEAM WIDTH FOR LONG RANGE OR

NARROW-CORRIDOR APPLICATIONS

ter. With its superb beam control and higher multipath frequency, Model
310B provides unmatched detection performance.

Phase Locked Loop (PLL) signal processing in the receiver increases de-
tection probability by alarming on partial or complete beam interruption,
increase or decrease in signal level or jamming by other transmitters. Its
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuit permits the receiver to compensate
for varying site conditions or changes in the weather.

Operating at K-band, which is much less crowded than X-band, Model 310B is inherently less susceptible to outside interference
from airport landing systems, aircraft or marine radar, and other microwave intrusion systems. Four field-selectable modulation
channels with narrow band PLL filters allow several Model 310B’s to be used together without mutual interference. Model 310B
can also be stacked with an X-band link, such as the Southwest Microwave Model 300B, with no danger of mutual interference.
Such an arrangement provides the ultimate in detection performance and extremely high resistance to electronic jamming.
