Safran DSI - X-LITE X-Band Transmitter
- Compact Size: Ideal for nano and cube satellites in LEO
- High Data Rate: Up to 140 Mbps
- Long Lifetime: 2 years lifetime for LEO missions
- COTS Design: Radiation tested and hardened, ITAR free
Our Space X-Band transmitter, X-LITE, designed for Cube and Nano Satellites, especially for Low Earth Orbit (LEO), around 500/800 km above earth. Due to the small size of these satellites, one of the main challenges is low consuming equipment, especially for radios communication links.
Our X-Band Transmitter, X-LITE, answers to this new game-changing on small satellites, permitting simultaneously:
- High data rate telemetry up to 140 Mbps (options)
- Robust transmission in X band (8GHz)
A smart concept is implemented for controlling the power amplifier supplies in order to get the best efficiency for each RF power level. The power consumption is always optimized. The architecture of the power supplies is designed to protect the transmitter against latch-up effects from heavy ions in space.
More Product Information
- Excellent temperature and voltage stability
- Units for noise figure meters feature 15.5-dB ± 0.75 dB ENR output
- High-output units for radar and satellite communications system testing feature output between 26 and 35 dB ± 1 dB ENR
The NC3000 Series calibrated coaxial AWGN sources are well suited for receiver testing, noise figure measurements, or applications that require broadband noise and fast switching times. Several models include output isolators, and voltage regulators that provide excellent stability over varying temperature and voltage ranges. The NC3000 Series includes the NC3100 units with 15 dB ENR output for noise-figure meters, and the NC3200 Series high-output noise sources with outputs between 26 and 35 dB ENR for radar and satellite communications system testing.
