The RF Conditioners are best suited for agile/dynamic environments due to the autonomous mitigation architecture (flexibility of selected components and overall circuitry design) which provides an expedited response to continuous or persistent variable frequency/power conditions. 

​

In the RF Conditioner block diagram outlining the circuitry of a single channel and single sub-band, there are three distinct modules that comprise the “front-end”: “Input Detection & Mitigation Routing Section”, "Selective Mitigation Modules", “Gain & Protection”, and “Sub-band Spectrum Analyzer & Controller”. While each module is in communication with one another rather fluidly, as illustrated in the diagram via purple lines, for the purposes of discerning information, let’s consider each “module” a “phase”. For example, when the signal feeds through the ‘input’, the signal is coupled at the start of “phase 1”: the “Input Detection & Mitigation” module. The coupled or copied signal is then sent to phase 2, the “Sub-band Spectrum Analyzer & Controller” module,  while the original signal passes through a high-power attenuator.

Although front-end attenuation is not the most desirable technique, as mentioned in the theory section of “Interference Mitigation”, the high-power attenuator included in phase 1 serves two purposes. The first, to effectively control the incoming signal level to dissipate or absorb any unwanted power. The second, to provide a level of protection for the hardware the follows. Overall, the loss incurred by front-end attenuation is truly minimal compared to replacing a module or entire system due to front-end overload.
