Transceiver Single
Channel Module17-21 & 27-31 GHz

Product Datasheet

TR1000Single channel satellite communicationstransceiver module for K/Ka-band.

Overview

The TR1000 transceiver module enables directinterface with a modem or Software DefinedRadio (SDR) enabling full-function Ka-bandsatellite systems.
The module is a complete RF satellite systemthat allows spacecraft designers a fast, reliable
and cost effective means of implementing highdata-rate Ka-band payloads. Additional channels
can be added in both the transmit and receive
paths to accommodate to specific customer
requirements.
The RF outputs and inputs are standard
waveguide flanges for high reliability and low loss
antenna connections. In order to maximize data
rates, the transmitter has an output monitoring
function that enables precise amplitude stability
when coupled with external pre-distortion or gain
control systems.
