Game-changing solution for ultra-high-power E-band links

The Hercules II combines the advanced Filtronic Morpheus II module with the powerful Cerus amplifier, delivering seamless integration and exceptional performance. The Morpheus II module includes all necessary transmit and receive functions for the RF section of an E-band link, enabling easy connection to a high data rate full duplex modem. Paired with the Cerus power amplifier, the Hercules II greatly increases transmit power, ensuring extended reach and improved coverage.

The solution

• The Hercules II brings together the best of two industry-leading technologies, the Morpheus II transceiver and the award winning Cerus Solid State Power Amplifier.
• The Hercules II support advanced modulation techniques and with an ultra-low noise LNA to unlock its true potential.

The result

• Fully integrated 71-76 to 81-86 GHz TRx modules, supporting Tx output power > 35dBm
• Low phase noise at -112dBc/Hz at 1MHz.
• The module also supports up to 512QAM modulation and greater than 2GHz channel bandwidth

The challenge

• Approached by high performance private network specialists.
• Challenged to create an E-band link with longer operational range and superior signal strength.
• Required ultra low latency, where speed is an absolute requirement.
