WEMA11: Qualified Frequency Sources for Rapid Deployment in Space Applications

Presentation Abstract
Modern satellite payloads often require fixed or agile frequency sources with superior phase noise and spectral purity. The shorter development cycles and increased number of launches challenge microwave component suppliers to offer space-qualified components with rapid turnaround times and reduced cost. Offering products that meet the performance specifications while also adhering to the screening and reliability requirements entails utilizing proven designs, materials, and manufacturing processes. This talk will review the applications of these sources and describe how Narda-MITEQ is leveraging its space heritage and design expertise to meet the evolving demands of the satellite industry.
