Junction Box

Junction Box

The Junction Box features a dual-channel 16-bit analog-to-digital converter operating at 2.5 MHz sampling rate combined with an MCU-FPGA processing architecture. The unit accepts two differential radar antenna inputs rated at ±10Vpp maximum analog signal level. Internal FIFO memory capacity reaches 30 megabytes enabling extended acquisition periods without data loss. Data transfer occurs via 100 Mbps Ethernet connectivity supporting simultaneous operation of two Doppler radar systems. The housing measures 10cm x 37cm x 32cm and weighs 5.2kg for field portability.

Signal conditioning circuitry processes analog inputs before digital conversion and Ethernet transmission to connected computers. One analog trigger input and one TTL trigger output facilitate synchronized operation with external timing devices. Operating temperature range spans +10°C to +40°C for laboratory and controlled field environments. Power requirements include 115VAC 60Hz 1.0A for North American models or 230VAC 50Hz 0.5A for European configurations. The programmable MCU-FPGA system allows customization for specialized acquisition requirements.

Ballistics research laboratories deploy the Junction Box for acquiring velocity data from multiple Doppler radar antennas monitoring projectile trajectories simultaneously. Weapons testing ranges utilize the device to capture in-bore and muzzle velocity measurements during ammunition evaluation trials. The Ethernet interface connects to standard desktop or laptop computers regardless of operating system, eliminating specialized hardware requirements. Wireless network integration allows remote data monitoring during outdoor range operations.

Tactical Supply Pakistan provides data acquisition hardware for Doppler radar integration in ballistics measurement applications. The company supplies signal processing equipment compatible with multiple radar frequencies for velocity tracking and projectile analysis systems.

Does the internal memory prevent data loss during network transmission delays?
The 30 MB FIFO buffer continuously stores incoming radar signals during Ethernet transfers, maintaining data integrity throughout extended acquisition sessions even when network latency occurs.
