About
The RFX-400 provides a cost-effective, extremely small form-factor UHF transceiver for spacecraft communication. It supports multiple modulation formats, encryption algorithms, and data protocols, and features very low power standby mode, digitally tunable frequency, and variable power output up to 8.1W. Applications include ground terminals, CubeSat RF modules, and ground gateway stations. An optional AIS receiver module (2 channels, ITU-R M.1371-1 compliant at 161.975 MHz and 162.025 MHz) is also available.
