Abstract
This paper describes the development and test result of X-band Transmitter flight model(FM) of STSAT-3 by satellite research center(SaTReC), KAIST. The communication sub-system of STSAT-3 is consist of two different frequency band channels. S-band frequency is used for Telemetry & Command, and X-band frequency is used for mission data. Payload observations data in Mass Memory Unit (MMU) is modulated by QPSK modulator in X-band Transmitter, and then QPSK modulation signal is transmitted to antenna through transfer switch. In this Paper, we described the results of modulation, low-pass filter design, power amp development, and switch test. The FM XTU is delivered Spacecraft Assembly, Integration and Test(AIT) level through the completion of functional Test and environmental(vibration, thermal vacuum) Test successfully.
