California Microwave Introduces the MRC TwinStream Series, a Complete Approach to Analog and Digital Fixed Microwave Systems.SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 16, 1999-- California Microwave, Inc. (Nasdaq NM:CMIC CMIC CPU Management Interface Controller CMIC Caucasus Media Investigations Center (Baku, Azerbaijan) CMIC Combined Military Interrogation Center (Vietnam) CMIC Configuration Management Information Center ) announced today that its MRC See Maximum return criterion. business area has expanded its initial MRC TwinStream product offering to become a broad series of digital and digital-ready microwave radio systems, the MRC TwinStream(TM) Series 1, Series 2, Series 3, and Series 4 radio platforms. The TwinStream microwave radios systems are featured in the California Microwave booth (No. L21142) at the National Association of Broadcasters Convention in Las Vegas, April 19-22. The groundbreaking MRC TwinStream radio platform was introduced in August 1998 as the first dual-carrier radio system to support analog NTSC (National TV Standards Committee) The committee that developed the television standards for the U.S, which are also used in Canada, Japan, South Korea and several Central and South American countries. Both the committee and the standard are called "NTSC. and 19.39 Mbps ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) An international digital television (DTV) standard adopted by the U.S., Canada, South Korea, Taiwan and Argentina. transport streams. The TwinStream radios have become the overwhelming choice of U.S. broadcasters implementing new digital television stations because of their ability to place the NTSC and ATSC programming within a single 25 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. microwave channel. Addressing Diverse Requirements The new TwinStream Series radios extend the advantages of the TwinStream technology to an entire range of fixed microwave systems in the 6.8-7.1 and 12.7-13.2 GHz bands. The Series 1 radios are analog, digital, or analog plus digital carrier systems featuring a new single-oscillator design. The MRC TwinStream Series 2 radios offer a choice of dual-carrier, dual-oscillator radios with dual-polarity antenna systems for applications requiring increased system gain. For applications that enable two complete RF channels, the new MRC TwinStream Series 3 enables two complete 25 MHz wide microwave transmitters or receivers within a single microwave radio shelf that is three rack units high. The Series 3 radios are dual-channel radios within either the 6.8-7.1 or 12.7-13.2 GHz bands. The Series 4 radios are dual-channel, dual-band (7 and 13 GHz) radio systems, also within a 3RU shelf. Both the Series 3 and 4 radios support analog, 19.39 Mbps (ATSC) digital, and 44.736 Mbps (DS3) transmission in any combination. California Microwave is accepting orders for the TwinStream Series 1, Series 2, Series 3, and Series 4 radios, with typical deliveries within 60 to 90 days after receipt of order. Shipments continue of the initial TwinStream radio systems as well. The MRC business area of California Microwave, Inc. is the leading US provider of analog and digital microwave systems for video transport applications. The company's EFData Product Group is a world-leading provider of satellite modems, including the new SDM-2020 series for digital video transport with a choice of QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) A phase modulation technique that transmits two bits in four modulation states. See PSK and phase modulation. and 8PSK (1) See preshared keys. (2) (Phase Shift Keying) A simple digital modulation technique that uses two different phase angles for 0 and 1. Quadrature PSK (QPSK) uses four phase shifts for each two bits of input. See phase modulation and DPSK. modulation. California Microwave, Inc. (http://www.calmike.com) is a leading supplier of terrestrial wireless and satellite-based systems to support ultra-high speed Internet access, broadcast digital TV transport and worldwide Internet backbones.
