Synthesizers Solutions for Satellites

SP-SM SERIES SYNTHSIZERS FOR SATELLITES

Kratos General Microwave Israel  is a recognized global leader in the design, development, and production of state-of-the-art synthesizers. Based on our microwave heritage of more than 60 years in the microwave arena and our combat proven microwave technology. Our SP-SM series synthesizer, was designed for high performance while meeting the requirement of the New Space  MEO and LEO satellites, of COTS, Low Cost and Short Delivery.

To meet the quality requirements of the New Space satellites, while keeping low cost, we implemented in the design of the SP-SM synthesizers the following:

   • Utilizing High Screened Commercial components
   • Conservative Thermal Dissipation Design
   • Use of vacuum-compatible, low-outgassing materials and coatings
   • Robust design for radiation and launch environmental conditions


SP-SM6220 Advanced COTS Synthesizer for Satellites Applications

Synthesizer Model SP-SM6220 is COTS generic 2 to 20 GHz synthesizer for satellite applications. Other frequency bands, can be derived from this COTS generic synthesizer, with minimum changes  a very short time.

 

Product Overview  

Model SP-SW6229 is a Fast Switching synthesizer with Frequency Modulation capability. Built on an indirect ultra fast architecture, the synthesizer delivers excellent agility, stability and low phase noise for demanding communication and sensing systems. The synthesizer is a precise signal source, it can be a high purity local oscillators or a stable BIT oscillator. Fast switching improves system response, and the r For missions requiring advanced waveforms, an optional wide band modulation feature supports bandwidths up to 1 GHz, enabling integration into next generation payloads with high data rates and flexible RF architectures.

  • Uncompromising Reliability: Engineered for long-term performance in extreme conditions.
  • Low Power Consumption: Designed to maximize efficiency for energy-constrained systems.
  • Compact, Space-Optimized Design: Meeting the physical constraints of space platforms without compromising functionality.
  • Superior Frequency Stability: Delivering consistent signal precision under dynamic operational conditions.
  • Minimal Long-Term Frequency Drift: Ensuring sustained accuracy over extended mission lifespans.
  • Cost Effective: Meets the needs of both the traditional space market and the competitiveness of the New Space industry.
