About
The ADDNICS X-TRP is a full-duplex X-band TT&C transponder that integrates both uplink reception and downlink transmission in a single unit, using an 880/749 uplink/downlink frequency ratio and PCM-PSK-PM modulation. The uplink subcarrier operates at 16 kHz and the downlink at 8.192 kHz, with both command and telemetry bit rates independently selectable across four stages. RF output power is approximately 1 W and total power consumption is 16 W max. The unit follows the same 80×80 mm A88-series baseplate footprint. The X-TRP is designed for satellites requiring a compact, integrated approach to X-band tracking, telemetry, and command rather than separate TX and RX units.
