Description
Summary:This paper describes the development and test results of a flight qualified, hermetic I/Q modulator Multi-Chip Module (MCM) with X-band input and Ka-band output for either Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) or Deep Space Network (DSN) high data rate communications applications. The module is 0.9" wide by 1.7" long without the attachable coaxial connector. It draws
