About
NewSpace Systems offers the LYNX-X-band and LYNX-Ka-band transmitters, which are compliant X- or Ka-band transmitters designed to meet the growing demand for high-speed data transmission in space applications. Both transmitters feature a fully CCSDS compliant data link and utilize an advanced modulation and forward error correction (FEC) scheme to achieve excellent bandwidth and power efficiency while maintaining quasi-error-free (QEF) communication. They support Variable Coding and Modulation (VCM) and Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) to optimize bandwidth utilization and adapt to channel conditions. The LYNX-X-band operates in the Earth Exploration-Satellite Service (EESS) X-band, while the LYNX-Ka-band operates in the Earth Exploration Satellite Service Ka-band. Key features include CCSDS 131.3 compliance, adjustable output power up to 2 W, and a maximum data rate of up to 400 Mbps. These transmitters are suitable for LEO missions of up to 3 years, designed with a radiation level >30 krad TID at component level. The X-Band TX is operational over a temperature range from -35 to +80 degrees Celsius and can survive temperatures of -40 to +85 degrees Celsius. They are designed and tested in accordance with MIL-STD-461F Electromagnetic compatibility.
