Some Design and Application Considerations of a 600-Channel Military Multiplex System

An applications review is presented of a singlesideband suppressed-carrier 600-channel all-transistorized multiplex system for use on cable, and line-of-sight or tropospheric scatter radio circuits. System flexibility provides for growth in 12-channel increments up to the full channel complement. Highly ruggedized modular construction, and miniaturized printed-circuit techniques are employed throughout. System design accommodates voice, data, teletype, and graphic services. Certain features of the system that aid in the alignment and maintenance of the equipment by personnel with limited specialized training, are discussed.
