Specifications & What's Included
- Model: EM-1; MPN: GE 7523149P15
- Manufactured: January 31, 1977 (United States)
- Five integrated subassemblies including GE RF components and Airtron waveguide switches (Morris Plains, NJ)
- RF Indicators: CR1 FWD, CR2 REV, CR3
- Hexcel bonded structure enclosure; open-frame bench/rack form factor
- Technology: Microwave waveguide RF assembly
Applications
Ground test units of this type were used in satellite communications infrastructure for RF signal measurement and waveguide switching during equipment commissioning and maintenance. The EM-1 assembly supported microwave frequency testing in satcom earth station and terminal equipment. Airtron waveguide switches provided RF signal routing and isolation for multi-path test configurations common in satellite uplink and downlink verification procedures.
This GE EM-1 RF Ground Test Unit waveguide assembly has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The unit is an open-frame assembly with multiple GE subassemblies, Airtron waveguide switches, and a Hexcel bonded structure enclosure manufactured January 31, 1977. The chassis and gold-anodized enclosure show age-appropriate patina and light oxidation consistent with a 1970s-era aerospace/satcom assembly. Several of the green circuit board subassemblies show surface oxidation on their copper traces and edge contacts, visible in the photos. The waveguide and RF hardware components appear intact and undamaged. Wiring harnesses are present and connected. This unit has not been powered or tested at our facility and is sold in as-inspected condition. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
