About

The NSR-SDR-K/Ka-HDR-DVB is a high-speed K-band radio system built for demanding space communications applications. It operates as a full-duplex transceiver with a transmitter in the 20-21.2GHz range and a receiver in the 30-31GHz range, aligned with SDA Tranche frequency plans. The radio supports downlink and uplink speeds ranging from low Mbps up to greater than 500Mbps, enabling high data rate communications. It delivers 5 Watts of RF power with variable RF power control for link optimization. The system uses DVB-S2 for both uplink and downlink with variable modulation and coding to adapt to link conditions. Security is provided via embedded software-based encryption, with an optional integrated TSAB (Type-1) encryption module available. The radio supports coherent turn-around operation. It is designed for use across LEO, GTO, and Cislunar/Lunar mission applications.
