Research abstract
Payloads with military utility are needed to enhance the mission performance of CubeSats. High performance RF payloads are needed to expand the capabilities of CubeSats. High performance ISR payloads such as SIGINT systems can benefit from the space vantage point and cover vast areas rapidly. This project will package a SIGINT payload into a CubeSat form factor. BENEFIT: High performance RF payloads can be translated directly into commercial communications satellite applications. High capacity commercial payloads require high performance RF systems as well as digital signal processing.
