Communication Components
Our communication components have logged over a cumulative total of 9,000 years of operating in space with our proven delivery track record. No mission failure has been reported in over 40 years of experience. Our product range of communication components is becoming more extensive (*):
- LNA
- SSPA
- Transmitter (TX)
- Beacon (BCN)
- Receiver (RX)
- Converter (CONV)
- TT&R Transponder (TRX)
- Modulator (MOD)
*Following components are now under development:
Ka-SSPA
- MELCO has started the development of Nano SSPA for Ka-band DRA Antenna System.
- Geometry of Nano SSPA, containing 2-channel amplifiers, is smaller than 48mm2 and implementable in tiled-format according to antenna element pitch and layout.
- MELCO’s in-house new GaN device to be mounted in 1W-class GaN MMIC, realizing higher PAE.
- Very low insertion loss feasible by virtue of direct connection to individual antenna element.
- Operable under high temperature of 85℃ at the satellite chassis.
- Qualification of Nano SSPA to be completed and available in market by mid-2027.
HPA MMIC
- Further improvement in PAE, power synthesis loss and miniaturization can be achieved by means of Doherty MMIC implementing New in-houses transistors,.
- After space-qualification of new HPA MMIC, its application can be extended to SSPAs of higher output power.
