Features:
- Direct Modulation and Demodulation Greater than 20Msps
- Subcarrier Processing
- Spread-Spectrum Processing
The Kratos DTR70 Series Digital Transmitter Receivers support multiple IF and baseband
communication functions. The signal
processing is digitally implemented, allowing
the board to be easily tailored to specific
customer requirements. A broad range of
modulation and demodulation functions have
been developed that support most satellite
commanding, ranging, and telemetry functions.
Current software and firmware for the DTR70 supports SGLS, USB, STDN, and TDRSS waveforms, and other customer
signaling formats. This includes various PSK, PM, and FM formats, both direct
and on subcarriers. The board can modulate and demodulate all supported
signals, which provides transmit and receive capabilities, and loopback testing.
The PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) is designed for use in PCI, cPCI, and VME
systems. The DTR-70 is used in Kratos-s Telemetrix 70/70 systems (T70/70)
for satellite ground station operations and satellite testing, although it is a
general purpose communications board that can support many communications
applications.
The DTR-70 is manufactured in two implementations: DTRB-70 and DTRD-70. It provides both baseband and IF inputs and outputs.
The DTRD-70 replaces the baseband input with a second IF input for diversity
combining. The signal processing is performed in the Field-Programmable
Gate Array (FPGA). Digital signal processing provides tremendous accuracy,
capability, and repeatability. The FPGA is loaded over the PCI bus, which allows
different personalities to be loaded for different applications. Kratos can
manufacture existing firmware application personalities or develop new ones for
specific customer requirements.
The DTRB70 Kratos Digital Transmitter Receiver may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
