Part No:MPIS-WL-UHF/VHF-Transceiver
Overview
The UHF/VHF Transceiver enables your CubeSat to have full duplex system with telemetry, telecommand &
beacon capabilities on a single board. Its efficient BPSK downlink
modulation scheme and flexible UHF receiver make it easy to
communicate with your CubeSat.
Features
- Design based on Heritage from the
Delfi-C3 satellite (2008)
- Full duplex operation (sending and
receiving simultaneous)
- Additional CW (Morse code) beacon mode
- Receiver loopback mode (usable as
transponder, for ranging or uplink checking)
- On-board AX.25 command decoding
- Single board Telemetry, Telecommand,
and Beacon capability
