Key highlights

The Alén Space TREVO is a Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform designed for space applications.

Its motherboard can handle different numbers of SoCs and transceivers, integrating into a single subsystem all the radio chain and processing units to support the most demanding NewSpace software applications.

The modularity and flexibility of TREVO's hardware allow different configuration options, depending on the application. Multiple applications can be configured on the same board.

TREVO can also integrate several frontends, compacting in one single SDR platform multiple applications in different frequency bands.

Key features

  • Up to 4 external modules (2SoC + 2TRX, 1SoC + 1TRX...)
  • SoCs based on the Zynq Ultrascale+ family with embedded Linux and GNURadio compatible
  • Multi-core processing and FPGA flexibility
  • Wideband transceivers: 70 MHz - 6 GHz
  • Different RF Frontends: UHF, VHF, and S-band
  • Multi-application capabilities
  • In-orbit reconfiguration

Flight heritage
