Satellite payload applications related to communications and radar utilize wide instantaneous bandwidth signals to support large amounts of data. The applications require flexible, configurable solutions that can quickly reconfigure in different bands. For applications up to around 8GHz, the RF sampling architecture supports directly. For applications through Ka-band (27 - 40GHz), The RF sampling architecture is used as an IF stage to up/down convert to/from the higher frequency. These systems operate in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) applications and require radiation tolerant active devices.
