Produktübersicht

Terminal designers engineering ultra-small satellite tracking devices or pocket-sized IoT gateways often struggle to pack discrete processing chips, power circuits, and thermal sinks into tightly limited chassis enclosures. The SDL-64A eliminates these spatial bottlenecks by integrating both a down-converter and a complete wave-beam control unit directly onto a miniature 120-gram circuit substrate. Delivering a reliable G/T ratio greater than -1 dB/K and supporting dual-circular polarization synthesizing into arbitrary linear parameters, it ensures clean data extraction under a microscopic 15W power ceiling. By supporting a fully tileable layout that allows multiple tiles to join seamlessly for scalable aperture gains, it offers an agile LEO GEO satellite reception component engineered for highly restricted structural footprints.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

What are the layout advantages of integrating the down-converter and beam control onto the SDL-64A?: Traditional phased array tiles require an array of external processing modules to convert raw radio frequencies and calculate steering commands, adding system weight and wiring complexity. The SDL-64A embeds the down-conversion circuitry and the complete wave control processor directly into its core layers. This keeps the physical profile under 20mm and allows the module to output down-converted intermediate signals instantly while running autonomous tracking loops right on the tile.
How does the tileable stitching architecture function when scaling up the SDL-64A subsystem?: Despite its highly self-contained design, this Ku-Band-Satellitenempfänger module features built-in tileable splicing support. Engineering teams can align and connect multiple SDL-64A tiles together edge-to-edge to create a larger collective aperture. This enables flexible configuration scaling, allowing system builders to start with a miniature footprint and combine modules to meet higher data link and G/T performance thresholds seamlessly.
What control interfaces and power infrastructures are required to drive this antenna panel?: To suit both industrial microcontrollers and networked terminal controllers, the board provides dual SPI and Ethernet control interfaces for easy programming. It runs efficiently on a low-voltage DC 12V supply line, drawing a maximum peak power of ≤15W during intensive tracking phases. High-frequency signals are cleanly routed out via an industry-standard, secure SMP interface, preserving signal integrity even under challenging field movement and vibration.
