CubeSat S-Band Transmitter
Part number: CS-CPUT-STX-01
Cost:£10,000.00
The STX is a compact S-Band Transmitter designed for CubeSat missions. It is compatible with the CubeSat standard, with a CubeSat Kit PC104 form factor. The STX implements QPSK modulation with transmission data rates of up to 2 Mbps.
The STX is ideal for space missions where a high data-rate downlink is needed. The STX uses an open network encoding scheme based on the IntelSAT IESS-308 specification which makes this product compatible with low-cost commercial receivers.
A nadir facing S-Band patch antenna can also be incorporated into the CubeSat design. Its small size, low profile, rugged design and high directionality make it an excellent addition to the system.
