Description

A regenerative payload provides improved performance, reduced latency, support of mesh connection, simplified implementation for Non GEO constellations , and better usability in comparison to basic bent pipe designs.
On the other hand, it may require more processing power on board, in addition to the main problem of future proof design. Namely ensuring that communication protocols required by the users are supported along the whole life cycle of the satellite. With the introduction of a software defined radio ASIC, which is able to support large bandwidth in both uplink and downlink directions, the implementation of a future proof regenerative payload is closer than ever. The SX-4000 SDR ASIC designed by Satixfy for a payload provides an solution for these requirements by introducing a flexible, future proof, rad hard, software defined architecture using low power modern silicon process.
