Programmable Signal Generator Module

The Department of Defenses (DoD) need for smaller and more efficient electronic beacon systems is growing due to smaller platforms that may not have the space or power delivery systems for all electronic items. There is also a need for beacons to operate in specific frequencies with the added flexibility to have each beacon generate a unique signal. The proposed Programmable Signal Generator Module (PSGM) will interface with a telemetry radio and generate a signal waveform that is defined before flight. The module will be programmed through the transmitter after integration in the vehicle. The commercial off the shelf baseline system will fit within the same size, weight, and power requirements as the current digital signal processing chip (23 x 23 mm).
