Summary
The AAC Clyde Space PULSAR-VUTRX VHF/UHF Transceiver is a telemetry and command radio for nanosatellite missions compliant with CubeSat standard.
The system has a CubeSat kit PC/104 form factor and operates uplink in the VHF and downlink in the UHF serving both commercial and amateur frequencies.
The compact system features a beacon and a DTMF backdoor to increase their reliability in flight.
For transmit and receive, the system offers a configurable combination of AFSK and GMSK modes that are selected as an I2C command. If a reset occurs, the default mode will be selected which can be requested at time of production.
Applications
CubeSat, nanosatellite missions.
