Russian transceiver modules will launch communication between satellites and the Earth

The new development is used to establish reliable communication between spacecraft and

ground stations. It consists of receiver and signal conditioner modules, a switch and an amplifier operating in the X-band frequencies.

The modules are based on technologylow temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC), which is used by leading manufacturers of telecommunications equipment. It provides higher electrical characteristics and thermal conductivity, mechanical protection of monolithic integrated circuits and tightness of modules, high reliability and fault tolerance.

The new development can transmit large amounts of information, for example, satellite images or radar images.

Developing your own microwave MIS takes no more than three months and costs several tens of thousands of rubles apiece, the press service of Roscosmos noted. 

The devices are planned to be used in the creation of promising satellites for broadband communications and Earth remote sensing.
