[Satellite TODAY 08-17-12] Kratos Defense & Security Solutions subsidiary SAT Corp. has received a multi-million dollar order to supply its Monics carrier monitoring system and related products to Space Systems/Loral (SS/L) in support of one of its remote broadband services customer, the company announced Aug. 16.
SAT Corp. said the Monics solution would be implemented on its SAT-DSP-6000 instrument to support multi-beam monitoring for the unnamed SS/L customer’s constellation of next-generation Ka-band satellites.
The DSP-6000 uses advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology to produce 250MHz of instantaneous bandwidth and an extended L-band input frequency range of 900MHz to 2450MHz.
Monics’ In-service In Orbit Test (IS-IOT) feature will be activated to ensure optimum performance of multi-beam satellites. IS-IOT uses measurement techniques to characterize transponders in terms of gain, frequency response and phase and can do so even while a transponder is in operation.
