nanoTX™ Transmitters

ARTM Modulations

Quasonix transmitters offer three different modulations of increasing spectral efficiency – PCM/FM, SOQPSK-TG, and Multi-h CPM – also known as ARTM Tiers 0, I, and II, at standard bit rates from 0.1 to 28 Mbps (0.05 to 14 Mbps for PCM/FM). (The maximum bit rate with a Clock Free transmitter is 35 Mbps for all modes.) With bandwidth at a growing premium in flight test telemetry, you can take advantage of 2 to 2.5 times the data capacity of the legacy PCM/FM waveform with SOQPSK-TG and Multi-h CPM.

Product Configurations

RF Output Power

• 10 mW, 1 W, or 5 W

Frequency Band

• Lower S band (2200.5 MHz – 2300.5 MHz)
• Upper S band (2300.5 MHz – 2394.5 MHz)
• Full S band

Baseband Interface

• TTL or TIA/RS-422 (RS-422)

Other Highlights

• Exceptional Efficiency
• Outputs from 10 mW to 5 W and optional variable power – all while drawing less current than the competition
• Quasonix nano transmitters stand alone as the only 1.3 cubic inch transmitters with multi-mode and 5 W output capabilities
• Automatic Data Rate Tracking
• As long as the external clock remains within the specified data rates above, the transmitter will automatically adjust to it 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
