Overview

NGM-101 Enigma is a distributive (full fan-out) L-band Matrix (850-2150MHz), with a module capacity of 32 inputs x 32  outputs in a 6U 19" rack enclosure.  It provides ultra resilience with single input and output cards, and can be part populated and expanded in single increments.

 –5 dB to +5dB variable gain is provided and settable per output. Minimal impact from failure with hot-swap single input and output RF cards, dual redundant power supplies, CPU’s and fans.

The L-band matrix is used to provide flexibility in the routing of antennas to receivers or modems; to allow remote routing of satellite signals to receivers or modems; and to help optimise the use of receiving capacity. 

Now in its 4th generation, the Enigma L-band Matrix has proved to have genuinely high performance with excellent flatness or frequency response, excellent isolation, and linearity - a truly leading edge L-band Router. The Enigma L-band Switch matrix can also be incorporated into an overall automatic redundancy Network Management System to enhance the resilience of the overall earth station equipment.With additional system security provided by SNMPv3, HTTPS, RCM TLS and NTP.

A variety of impedances and connector types are available.
