Quasonix' digital multi-mode telemetry transmitters are the benchmark of the industry, providing unparalleled performance and value in small, robust, power-efficient packages. The TIMTER™ transmitter, now in its 3rd generation and smaller than ever at 4.1 in³, offers the most versatility with advanced capabilities like tri-band frequency tuning, and output power up to 20 watts. At an astonishing 1.3 in³, the nanoTX™ transmitter supports the smallest of airborne platforms with programmable multi-mode operation and as much as 5 watts of RF output.
Other Highlights
- Many Output Power Options with Exceptional Efficiency
Outputs from 10 mW to 20 W and optional variable power – all while drawing less current than the competition
- 1.3 in³ Multi-mode Transmitter
nanoTX™ stands alone as the only 1.3 in³ transmitter with multi-mode and 5-watt output capabilities
- Tri-band Transmitter Available
All-encompassing solution with Lower L-, Upper L-, and full S-band frequency tuning
- C-band Transmitter Available
Supports migration to 4400-4950 MHz and 5091-5150 MHz bands at 5 W or 10 W
- Automatic Data Rate Tracking
Accepts input clock at any rate from 1 Mbps to 20 Mbps, with no programming or configuration required
- Bypassable Randomizer
Standard IRIG-106 fifteen-stage randomizer, for applications with non-encrypted data
- Intuitive Control
Straightforward configuration and control and platform-independence with serial terminal programming
