JTIDS Class 2H terminal
The Class 2H terminal offers full interoperability with all other JTIDS terminals, and adds capability for 1000 watts of RF output power. The core class 2H terminal consists of three LRUs: the receiver/transmitter (R/T), the data processor group (DPG), and the high power amplifier group (HPAG).
The R/T operates in the 960 to 1215 MHz band, provides the time division multiple access (TDMA) signal transmission and reception, and performs all TACAN signal processing. Since JTIDS shares operation in the TACAN / identification friend or foe (IFF) frequency band, the terminal is equipped with extensive interference protection features that effectively monitor radio frequency emission and prevent interference to those systems in the event of out-of-specification JTIDS equipment condition.
