Abstract: In order to increase system compactness, mitigate cabling problems, increase rack space, minimize points of failure in the system and reduce digital distortion leakage into the sensitive analog signals, the concept of the RF backplane located in the rear section of the MTCA.4 crate has been introduced. Besides signal distribution, the concept includes a signal generation module and backplane management module. The generation and splitting of the analog signals is taking place in slots 15 and 14 on the rear side in theμLO generation module (uLOG). This module generates the local oscillator signal, the clocks and feeds through the master reference signal over the RF backplane to the slots. In this paper we present the recent results of such system.
