XLink-S TM/TC

IQ Technologies for Earth and Space GmbH

■The Product
◎Overview

XLink-S TM/TC is an advanced transceiver system (Software Defined Radio – SDR) for S band communication links of small satellites in LEO environment. The mechanical dimensions fit a 1U CubeSat as well as larger satellites.
The radio interface and radio protocol were developed according to standard CCSDS protocols.
Data rate and Interfaces are optimized for Telemetry and Telecommand applications.
Supported modulation schemes include BPSK, QPSK and OQPSK with appropriate FEC encoding schemes.
The satellite receiver (uplink) used for telecommand purposes of the satellites is designed for a standard CCSDS BPSK with BCH coding and net data rates of at 112 kbps.
Two separate usable S band uplink receivers are available e.g., for redundancy purpose.
Data interface is based on CCSDS transfer frames.
A special feature of the XLink-S TM/TC transceiver is the integrated GPIO pin for receive ready.
It can be used to let other connected satellite systems know the reception of data from ground.
XLink-S TM/TC includes 2 Tx and 2 Rx ports for redundancy and high link availability.
It can be handled either via ethernet (IP) or RS422 (SPI).
Additionally, we provide engineering support by phone or e-mail to integrate this transceiver successfully into your satellite.
