HF Radio Family for
Stationary and ­Shipborne
Communications
R&S®M3SR The R&S®M3SR Series 4100 of HF radios represents a new,
innovative and versatile generation of software ­defined
radios (SDR) that extends the popular R&S®M3SR radio

Series 4100 family to include the HF frequency range. It supports

­frequency hopping and provides interoperability with the
R&S®M3TR family of tactical radios in all of the HF oper-

Software Defined ating modes. Possible applications include typical navy

­applications on board ships and on shore, civil air traffic
control, embassy radio systems and tactical applications.

­Radios The most noteworthy feature of these radios is that their

entire functionality is already built into the radio software.

housing spare parts as well as maintenance are reduced
tremendously. Having less internal hardware components
also helps to significantly boost the reliability compared to
conventional radios.

The R&S®M3SR Series 4100 is a powerful radio platform

that can be extended at any time. This helps to provide a
safe and future-proof investment for customers.

Besides the existing waveforms from the "HF house", the

R&S®M3SR Series 4100 will also support any future wave-
forms that attain a suitable level of market acceptance and
lead to international standards. A software update is all
that is required.

The output power that is required of HF transceivers is
highly dependent on the particular application scenario.

­applications The radios of the R&S®M3SR Series 4100 are available in

power classes of 150 W, 500 W and 1000 W. For radio ap-
plications on ship and shore, broadband radio systems are
also available with up to 32 radio lines and an output pow-
er of up to 4 kW. The R&S®M3SR Series 4100 also includes
a separate receiver as required in split-site applications, for
example. The product portfolio is rounded out by system
components such as antenna tuning units (ATUs) and di-
pole antennas from Rohde & Schwarz.

Local or remote operation

Suitable operating concepts are available to meet any re-
quirement. The R&S®GB4000C control units for local or
remote operation are equipped with a high-resolution 5"
liquid crystal display which provides excellent readability
even under poor lighting conditions. The ability to adjust
the contrast and brightness as well as illuminated keys
make it much easier to read off information. Hardkeys
and softkeys plus a clearly designed user interface ensure
ease of use when controlling the radio. Software defined
remote control via the serial RS-232-C interface or via
­Ethernet is another alternative.

Power supplies for all standard electrical networks

For the 500 W and 1000 W transceiver systems of the
R&S®M3SR Series 4100, Rohde & Schwarz offers a number
of power supplies to handle all of the electrical networks
encountered in real-world scenarios. These power supplies
have high efficiency and excellent power factor compen-
sation.

The system is based on the principle of combining ship-
board HF radio lines with the help of highly linear, passive
line couplers and then transmitting the combined signal
It is a flexible and modular multiline radio system using a broadband antenna system. The system covers
for the HF frequency range. The applications range the entire HF frequency band from 2 MHz to 30 MHz and
from shore radio stations to navy ships with up to 32 consists of separate broadband antennas, each covering a
radio lines. subband. A diplexer or triplexer selects each antenna seg-
ment.

The antenna system contains no switched elements. The

broadband capability of the antennas eliminates the need
for antenna tuning units. Since only passive components
such as couplers and filters are used, the result is an ex-
tremely low-maintenance system with superior reliability.

System R&S®GV4190D power management unit – a modular
component of the HF broadband system
The broadband block is a modular component of the HF

configuration broadband system. It consists of 1000 W transceiver sys-

tems, the appropriate passive, highly linear line couplers
and the R&S®GV4190D power management unit (PMU).

HF transmit/receive The PMU allocates the radio signals of each of the con-
nected receivers/exciters to one, two or four power ampli-
fiers at the small signal level. It also permanently monitors

broadband system status reports from system components such as ampli-

fiers, power supplies, line couplers and filters. In the case
of coherent power addition, the PMU also ensures that
the signals to be added are in phase. Multiple broadband
blocks can be merged into a maximum of 32 radio lines.
Using the PMU, the channel spacing between adjacent ra-
dio lines can be adjusted to a minimum of 1 percent.

The individual radio lines can be occupied by any of the

waveforms supported by the R&S®M3SR Series 4100 in-

The HF broadband system comes with its own receive an-

tenna system. Using a splitter, the receive signal is distrib-
uted to the transceiver systems, whose receivers are also
used in the system. The audio signals (voice and data) are
typically fed in via an intercom system.

management unit with the R&S®GB4000C local control panel. The PMU of-
fers a selection of operational modes to ensure a defined
logical allocation between the receivers/exciters and the
power amplifiers. These modes are especially suitable for
locally controlling 4 kW transmitter/receiver systems such
as those deployed at shore stations.

Flexible, logical allocation of the connected

­receivers/exciters and power amplifiers
Through the right combination of coherent and non-co-
herent signal paths, the number of radio lines in operation
and their output power can be varied over a wide range.

Coherent mode means that the output power of two ra-

dio lines can be arithmetically added (without taking into
­account coupler loss). This requires that both line coupler
input signals have identical frequencies and phase angles.

If the input signal frequencies or phase angles are not

identical, this is referred to as non-coherent mode and
­results in attenuation of the input power by 3 dB
(= factor of 2).

 R&S®M3SR Base radio models
The logistical structure of the R&S®M3SR Series 4100
is based on radio models that are available for the

Series 4100 R&S®EK4100 receiver, the R&S®GX4100 exciter and the

R&S®XK4115 150 W transceiver. The base radio models
are also available in ruggedized versions (splashproof IP32

Software Defined front panel). The software for these base models which are
known as R&S®MR4100x can be ordered in the form of "A"
software (with no export restrictions) or "D" software (re-

­Radios quiring an export license).

The R&S®FK4120/FK4140 digitally tuned HF selectors are

optional plug-in modules for the radios of the R&S®M3SR
Series 4100. They increase the selectivity of the transmit
and receive paths. Receiver parameters such as 2nd and
3rd order intercept, IF rejection, image-frequency rejection
and crossmodulation immunity are significantly improved.
In the transmit direction, the TX phase noise is suppressed
¸FK4120 digitally tuned HF selector to produce typical values as low as –165 dBc/Hz.

These digitally tuned HF selectors are recommended if you

need to receive low-amplitude signals in the simultane-
ous presence of strong HF carrier signals. This is the case
when multiple HF radio lines operate simultaneously and
independently of one another and reception should be
possible even if adjacent lines are transmitting.

¸GS4102 NMEA (DSC) interface

The NMEA (DSC) interface is necessary when the
R&S®M3SR Series 4100 transceiver systems are used
to forward distress calls that are located by an external
GMDSS monitoring and communications system. The
NMEA interface can be added to the R&S®XK4115A/D
150 W transceiver or the R&S®GX4100A/D exciter for the
500 W and 1000 W transceiver systems.

Software options R&S®GS4115S selective level control
In real-world applications, mutual influences between ad-
jacent transmitter lines as a result of low antenna decou-

for receiver, exciter pling values or insufficient frequency spacing can cause
overloading of transmitter output stages as well as power
reductions due to reflected HF power. The optional selec-

and transceiver tive directional coupler in the power amplifiers makes it

possible to perform narrowband weighting of the transmit
signal and the reflected antenna power. This ensures that
the transmitter power control is not influenced by extrane-
ous signals during normal operation. The R&S®GS4115S
selective level control can be enabled in R&S®DS4100A
and R&S®DS4100D.

R&S®GM4120S HF modem
The STANAG 4285 HF modem is used primarily for broad-
casting operation and for ARQ-secured data transmission,
typically in conjunction with an external STANAG 5066 ap-
plication.

The STANAG 4539 Annex B HF modem provides trans-

mission data rates from 75 bits/s to 9600 bits/s. It is the
recommended modem for new projects within NATO. It
automatically sets the transmission data rate and is used
preferably with the R&S®STANAG5066 data protection
­protocol. STANAG 4539 Annex B includes the following
modem standards:

JJ STANAG 4415
JJ MIL-STD-188-110A, Part 5.3

fers significant benefits compared to ALE-2G, including
significantly faster and more robust link setup. The layer
2 protocols known as LDL (low latency data link protocol)
and HDL (high rate data link protocol) have the benefit of
improved robustness at low S/N values compared to con-
ventional protocols. The data link protocols can be con-
trolled using serial data.
