S-Band Receiver

Our adaptable low-power AAC SpaceQuest RX-2000 S-band transceiver is designed to offer high data rates that support a variety of data interfaces and modulation schemes.

The AAC SpaceQuest RX-2000 have been in operation on-orbit for over 30 years for their own satellite and for a wide range of blue-chip clients around the globe.

The transceiver operates on S-band frequencies with GMSK modulation and up to 26 customer programmable channels with 20 MHz bandwidth, enabling configuration control.

The RX-2000 is an efficient space qualified FM S-Band receiver for MicroSats and small satellites. The RX-2000 component enables ease of integration with both individual and commercial ground station networks. Whilst not CubeSat Standard, this solution can be used in a CubeSat system design. The chassis of the RX -2000 employs a “clam-shell” design, allowing flexibility for spacecraft bus mounting options.

The receiver generates a clock and data output allowing customers the flexibility and control to implement customized or reconfigurable communication protocols on their flight computer or on an auxiliary communications processor.
