About
NewSpace Systems’ LYNX Ka-Band Transmitter operates in the EESS Ka-band frequency range with a fully CCSDS-compliant data link and VCM/ACM modulation for bandwidth-efficient communication. It supports adjustable output power up to 2W and data rates up to 400 Mbps. Designed for LEO missions up to 3 years duration with greater than 30 krad TID radiation tolerance at component level. Ka-band operation provides greater bandwidth availability compared to X-band, making it suited for high-throughput Earth observation payloads requiring maximum downlink capacity. MIL-STD-461F EMC compliance ensures compatibility with sensitive payloads.
