About
The SDR-Rack UHF, VHF and S-Band is a communication system for ground segments, specifically designed as a ground station transceiver for the VHF and UHF bands. It integrates the necessary SDRs and frontends for effective communication with small satellites operating in these frequency ranges. The system comprises two independent software-defined radios: one dedicated to the bidirectional ANT1 and ANT2 ports, and the other for reception on ANT3 and transmission on the RF output port. In transmission, the analog RF signal is sent through either the ANT1 or ANT2 ports. For reception, the analog signal can be received through ANT1, ANT2, and/or ANT3 ports. It supports VHF frequencies from 140 to 180 MHz with a maximum transmission power of 50W (47dBm), and UHF frequencies from 400 to 480 MHz, also with a maximum transmission power of 50W (47dBm). The product has a TRL 9 rating.
