About
TREVO is a modular high-performance Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform specifically engineered for small satellites, including Nanosat and Microsat. Its motherboard is designed to accommodate varying numbers of System-on-Chip (SoC) and transceivers, consolidating the entire radio chain and processing units into a single, integrated subsystem. This design enables TREVO to support the most demanding satellite software applications, serving as a core platform for developing and building complex space payloads. Key features include SoCs based on the Zynq UltraScale+ family, offering multi-core processing capabilities and FPGA flexibility. It operates across a wide frequency range of 70 MHz to 6 GHz with a 56 MHz channel bandwidth. The platform supports up to 4 external modules and offers configurations such as 2 x SoC and 2 x TRX, or 1 x SoC and 1 x TRX, with other options available upon request. Its modularity allows for the plugging of different RF FrontEnds, including UHF, VHF, and S-band, providing flexibility for various applications. Multiple applications can be configured on the same board.
