Telemetry receiver
- not in collection
Model 1100-AR is a modular telemetry receiver,
developed between 1969 and 1972
by Microdyne Corporation
in Rockville (Maryland, USA). The receiver was aimed at the emerging
lunar mission and satellite business of the late 1960s and early 1970s,
but eventually became the workhorse for many tracking stations for the
next three decades. Although it has since been succeeded by new designs, it is still widely
used today (2019), mainly because of its robustness and reliability.

The receiver is fully modular and consists of a 4U 19" rackmount enclosure
that contains the basic circuitry, and has five bays for optional modules,
which makes it highly customisable.
The two wide slots at the top are suitable for a CRT (spectrum) display
or an RF field strength indicator, whilst the other slots are for the RF
front-end (bottom right), the IF strip (centre) and a demodulator (bottom left).
Depending on the application and the required frequency range,
a selection of a range of modules and options could be installed
in the 1100-AR mainframe.

This page is a stub —
As we do not have a Microdyne 1100-AR receiver in our collection, this
page currently serves as a placeholder for background information
about this receiver.
Although the 1100-AR was developed in the early 1970s, it is still
actively serviced and maintained by Microdyne Telemetry to this day (2019)
