Summary

The Alén Space S-band Transmitter is a high data rate transmitter designed for CubeSats and nanosatellites.

It is an SDR-based onboard processing (OBP) / programmable FPGA DVB-S2 transmitter. The product weighs approximately 130g and consists of PC/104 form factor. It also consists of different DVB-S2 modulation schemes like QPSK, 8PSK, 16APSK, and 32APSK.

The payload is designed to maximize customers' download of information and shorten the time needed to receive the data generated by the payload of their small satellite platforms.
