VDR1 Diversity Video Receiver for Drones, UAV, and UGV

VDR1 Diversity Video Receiver for Drones, UAV, and UGV

UHF – L-Band – S-Band – C-Band

AMP’s VDR1 Series 7.4 cubic inch diversity video receivers offer high quality diversity reception with many advanced features including miniature packaging, low power consumption, low noise figure, and video inversion. All receivers utilize a robust machined aluminum chassis and high quality connectors designed to withstand harsh environments.

VDR1 receivers feature a proprietary voting circuit that ensures reception of the strongest signal at all times. Innovative circuit designs are utilized to reduce power consumption for significantly longer battery life and to reduce noise figure for substantially more range and better video quality.

Receiver carrier frequency may be selected locally with BCD rotary switches, remotely, and locally/remotely with a programmable binary switch. Slide switches allow selection between standard (positive) and inverted (negative) video and subcarrier On/Off. Received signal strength is indicated with a local display (LCD meter or LED bar) and via remote query. If equipped with an LED displays, intensity may be controlled by a local pushbutton switch.

If your application requires video and audio or data reception, VDR1 receivers are optionally configured with up to 2 audio or data subcarriers with dual outputs for driving auxiliary devices.

VDR1 receivers are ideal for Drones, UAS, UAV, UGV, Military, and other applications requiring high quality diversity video reception in a compact, rugged package.
