Overview
End-to-End Solution with XLink & AX-60 is a one-stop-shop-solution of IQ spacecom and WORK Microwave. XLink is an advanced transceiver system (Software Defined Radio – SDR) for X- and S-Band communication links of small satellites with a flight grade tested COTS design. The mechanical dimensions fit into CubeSats as well as larger satellites. Radio interfaces and protocols are compatible to standard CCSDS and DVB-S2 specifications. Gigabit Ethernet is provided as on-board control and high-speed data interface. • X-Band Tx operation: 8.025-8.400 GHz • X-Band Rx operation: 7.145-7.250 GHz • S-Band Tx operation: 2.200-2.290 GHz • S-Band Rx operation: 2.025-2.110 GHz • Data rate Sat2Ground: 16 kbps up to 200 Mbps • Data rate Ground2Sat: 3.5 kbps up to 896 kbps • Dimensions (x/y/z): 90 x 65 x 25.3 mm³ The X- and S-Band patch antennas are based on flight proven designs for CubeSats and Small Satellite applications. They are cost effective and available for customizable Rx and Tx frequency ranges. • Operation frequency: 8.025 – 8.400 GHz 7.145 – 7.250 GHz 1.980 – 2.500 GHz • Maximum gain: 6 … 18 dBi AX-60 of WORK Microwave is part of this end-to-end solution. It is a 19-inch rack-mount modem unit and fully compatible with XLink transceiver. Both platforms connect with IP networks and provide easy-to-use straightforward connectivity. Supporting communication for the ground and space segments, the solution allows operators to reliably perform transmission tasks to and from satellites. XLink and AX-60 represents a fully featured bidirectional communication system. Other frequencies are available on request. A Ground Converter Unit (GCU) can be provided for easy integration into the ground segment and connection to ground stations and antennas. • Utilization of CCSDS 131.0-B and 231.0-B and DVB-S2 via CCSDS 131.3-B • Downlink: TM or Payload up to 200 Mbps • Uplink: TC >56 kbps
