Frequency Converters & RF Extenders
Product Options
COTS
Configurable
Custom
A broad range of COTS, configurable, and custom upconverters, downconverters, and RF extender modules, backed by more than 20 years of spaceflight heritage. Available in compact card-level and enclosed configurations for SDR, payload, TT&C, SATCOM, and test architectures.
Only our most popular frequency converter and RF extender options for NewSpace applications are shown. A wide variety of additional upconverter, downconverter, bidirectional, frequency-plan, power-level, form-factor, and interface configurations are available upon request.
S-Band to X-Band Frequency Converter
Compact half-CubeSat S-to-X frequency converter that enables existing S-band radios to operate at X-band without a radio redesign. Delivers 3 W typical output with an internal synthesizer and reference, plus UART telemetry for RF output, current, and temperature. More than 80 units sold and operating in LEO.
L-Band to K-Band Frequency Converter
Bidirectional L-to-K-band RF subsystem supporting L-band uplink and downlink communications together with K-band inter-satellite links. Integrates frequency conversion and amplification in a compact module for high-altitude communications and secure-link architectures, with demonstrated operation on a LEO constellation.
Radio Frequency Extender Module
Compact CubeSat and SmallSat receiver module that extends fixed SDR architectures up to 12 GHz without redesigning the underlying radio. Selectable bypass and frequency-extension modes, a 2.5–3.5 dB typical noise figure, and low DC power support wideband receive, SIGINT, and communications payloads.
