SCi Blocks by Spectrum Control

In the ever-evolving world of aerospace and defense technology, staying ahead of the curve is not just a strategic advantage—it's a necessity. That's why we are excited to introduce a groundbreaking innovation from our manufacturer, Spectrum Control: SCi Blocks. These plug-and-play RF solutions are set to redefine SWAP-C (Size, Weight, and Performance – Cost) parameters for aerospace and defense applications.

A Revolution in Miniaturization

One of the most remarkable features of SCi Blocks is their ability to deliver high performance within an incredibly compact form factor. Thanks to a fusion of state-of-the-art in-house production techniques, Spectrum Control has achieved an extraordinary feat. For example, they offer a 20 MHz-18 GHz Tx or Rx board that measures a mere 13 x 2 cm. This level of miniaturization has far-reaching implications for aerospace and defense systems. The reduced size not only allows for efficient use of valuable onboard real estate but also simplifies installation in space-constrained environments.

Unrivaled Performance and Stability

SCi Blocks set a new standard when it comes to RF performance. They are wideband, providing exceptional stability and ultra-low phase noise. These characteristics translate into superior signal quality and precision, a critical factor in the realm of radar systems. With SCi Blocks, you can trust that your radar system will be operating at peak efficiency, no matter the environmental conditions or operational requirements.

Digital-Tunable for Greater Control

Tuning, integrating, and maintaining RF functions can be a time-consuming endeavor. With SCi Blocks, Spectrum Control offers an ingenious solution. The SCi Block Manager empowers users to program their built-in (test) functions, simplifying the process and providing greater control. This innovative approach reduces the time and resources spent on fine-tuning, making it easier than ever to adapt the system to specific mission requirements.

Flexibility and Open Architecture

One size doesn't fit all in the aerospace and defense sector, and Spectrum Control recognizes this. SCi Blocks are available in various configurations and boast an open architecture. This open design approach ensures that users are not locked into a single source, enabling adaptability for various applications. The modular structure of SCi Blocks also makes them highly versatile for custom designs, perfectly aligning with the diverse needs of aerospace and defense projects.

These capabilities translate into a multitude of possibilities for those in the industry. From extremely compact and powerful up-/down converters to wideband transceivers, SCi Blocks are the ideal choice. But it doesn't stop there. The applications extend to a wide range of technologies, including Electronic Warfare (EW), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), and radar systems. With SCi Blocks, Spectrum Control is paving the way for more agile, precise, and adaptable aerospace and defense systems.
