Space-Rated X-band Block Up/Down Converter (UDC)

For pricing and more information please call 1-604-419-8585 or contact us.

Orbital’s X-band Up/Down Converter (UDC) combines both uplink and downlink frequency conversion in a single, compact, space-qualified module. Designed for CubeSat and SmallSat platforms, this dual-function converter simplifies payload integration while maximizing flexibility and performance. 
 
Ideal for Software-Defined Radio (SDR) systems, the UDC supports software-defined frequency tuning and in-orbit reconfiguration, enabling real-time adaptation to changing mission parameters or spectrum environments. This streamlined, software-defined approach reduces hardware complexity and enhances long-term platform agility. 
 
Available in both radiation-hardened and COTS space-ready configurations, the UDC is fully tested for RF performance, radiation exposure, environmental durability, and thermal vacuum cycling when required. 

Key Features: 

  • Integrated Upconverter and Downconverter 
  • Low phase noise and high linearity
  • Excellent signal isolation and image rejection
  • Flat gain profile across the band 
  • Software-defined frequency tuning (pre-launch and in-orbit)
