This activity targets the development of a Q/V-band Rx/Tx Diplexer for ground stations, efficiently covering full gateway uplink and downlink spectrum.
Development of a 500 W Q/V Diplexer, to be used in the future architecture of ground stations.
The development of this Q/V-band diplexer is a key enabler for future ground base stations based on Q/V-band feeder links with an efficient use of the spectrum.
The Q/V Diplexer assembly is the following.
The weight of the whole assembly is 5.7 Kg.
The dimensions on the base are 33 x 21 x 18 cm.
The overall duration of the program is 15 months.
The program foresees a detailed design of a diplexer prototype, the realization of the prototype and the technology experimental demonstration.
The following milestones were established:
The activities are completed.
