Orbital 26 GHz Space-Based SmallSat Receiver-1

Orbital 26 GHz Space-Based SmallSat Receiver To be used in space-to-space crosslinks, earth-to-space telemetry, tracking and control (TT&C), and earth-to-space communications uplinks/ downlinks, among others. • Ultra-low phase noise • Phase locked frequency synthesized local oscillator (LO) • CubeSat form factor 4 x 4 inches A companion ground terminal K-band EO LNB is also available. The 26 GHz space-based small satellite receiver from Orbital Research delivers high performance for big-bandwidth LEO missions and earth observation (EO) systems. This agile frequency converter is a perfect front-end for software defined radios (SDRs) and on-board processors in the K-band SmallSat market. When paired with a Tethers International SWIFT SDR, our SmallSat receiver is a complete turn-key communications payload system - or it can be customized to suit your form factor. The device can be used for LEO, MEO, sun synchronous or polar orbit missions and allows for inorbit changes to mission profiles. 26 GHz Space-Based SmallSat Receiver - LNBKASQ | v19.11.14 PAGE 1
