Objectives

The aim of the project was to qualify a new generation of C Band input multiplexers for communication payloads in a monomode solution with better performances (Q, ELFD) and lower cost than the previous available in-house technical solution.

Challenges

A key task to be addressed during the project is the adaptation of already available Ka, Ku and X band channel filters technology for IMUX to C Band.

Plan

After a first design phase devoted to the adaptation of monomode solution to C Band, a second phase of manufacturing, integration and qualification testing of a representative EQM will be carried out.

Current Status

EQM Qualification Completed.
