The following figure shows a Klystron system in which the IFDR can receive a master clock
from the radar system (for example, the COHO), or act as the reference clock. This ensures
that the entire system is phase-locked.
The IFDR provides the digital Tx waveform. No additional hardware is required.

Tx waveform generation requires an optional software license.
3.2 RVP902 Signal Processing Computer
The RVP902 signal processing computer hosts the Linux operating system and provides the
computing resources for processing the I/Q values that are generated by the RVP901 IFDR.
While available, the system does not require that a keyboard, mouse, or monitor be
connected, which is typically the case at an unattended site.
The RVP902 computer also hosts RVP900 utilities, for test, configuration, control, and
monitoring.
