About
The NSR-SDR-K/Ka-HDR-DVB is a high-speed K-band software-defined radio system designed for satellite communications across LEO, GTO, and cislunar/lunar regimes, including SDA (Space Development Agency) Tranche applications.
It transmits in the 20-21.2 GHz band and receives in the 30-31 GHz band in a full-duplex configuration, supporting downlink and uplink data rates from low Mbps up to greater than 500 Mbps using DVB-S2 with variable modulation and coding.
RF power output is 5 W and variable, with coherent turnaround capability for ranging support. Security is handled through software-based encryption with an optional integrated TSAB (Type-1) module.
