A miniaturized modem/SDR designed for CubeSat and Small Satellites for LEO and GEO applications. With a volume < 0.5 U and a mass < 500 g, it can reach up to 4 Gbps in transmission and 1 Gbps in reception making it unique in size and performance ratio.
The SDR is compatible with DVB-S2X (with ACM) in transmission and CCSDS in reception, but also supports custom waveforms and protocols. The interface frequency can be programmed from 300 MHz to 7 GHz with instantaneous bandwidth up to 1 GHz.
