About
The IQ Spacecom XLink-L is an advanced SDR transceiver for L-Band communication links of small satellites in LEO. Transmits in 1.6265-1.675 GHz and receives in 1.518-1.559 GHz with 2-128 kbps data rates. Supports the Go.BIC service for global on-demand connectivity via Viasat L-Band GEO satellite network, plus CCSDS TM/TC. Optional dual Tx/Rx channels provide redundancy or power combining up to +33 dBm. Standard mass is 200g (90x65x25.3mm); a high-radiation-tolerance variant weighs 365g (96x71x32mm). DC supply is 6-18V (28V optional); power less than 15W Tx+Rx. CCSDS 231.0-B, 132.0-B, 131.0-B, 401.0-B compliant. TRL 9.
