Payload manufacturers are increasingly exploiting the SWaP advantages of single-chip, multi-channel transceivers, combining DSP and AI with RF ADCs and DACs. Devices offer significant benefits and flexibility to satellite operators.
What would you do if your pizza delivery person or taxi driver couldn’t find you because their GNSS receivers can’t pick-up weak navigation signals. Time-to-Digital Converters allow GNSS receivers to become resilient and perform when the incoming navigation signals are weak or have been tampered with. Time-to-Digital Converters enable GNSS receivers to continue providing a 1 PPS reference even when navigation carriers disappear!
OEMs must ensure their avionics are electromagnetically clean and do not pollute other sub-systems with unwelcome radiative, conducted or coupled emissions. Similarly, integrators must ensure their space electronics are not susceptible to RFI from external sources as this could impact performance or even damage hardware. As a product provider, how do you ensure your sub-system can be integrated seamlessly ready for launch?
