Objectives
This activity targets the development of a Q/V-band Rx/Tx Diplexer for ground stations, efficiently covering full gateway uplink and downlink spectrum.
Challenges
Development of a 500 W Q/V Diplexer, to be used in the future architecture of ground stations.
System Architecture
The Q/V Diplexer assembly is the following.
The weight of the whole assembly is 5.7 Kg.
The dimensions on the base are 33 x 21 x 18 cm.
Plan
The overall duration of the program is 15 months.
The program foresees a detailed design of a diplexer prototype, the realization of the prototype and the technology experimental demonstration.
The following milestones were established:
- A Preliminary Concept Review, at the completion of technology selection;
- A Design Review, at the completion of prototype design;
- A Test Review, at the completion of prototype implementation and testing;
- A Final Review and a Final Presentation, at the end of the activities.
Current Status
The activities are completed.
