Abstract
A radio communications system and its method thereof handle radio communications for a small form factor satellite. The radio communications system may be implemented by a single printed circuit board. The single printed circuit board may include a UHF/VHF radio, an S-band radio and a processor. The processor may be coupled to the radios. The processor may receive radio messages from the UHF/VHF radio, and generate command signals based on the radio messages. The processor may transmit the command signals to a plurality of systems coupled to the radio communications system via a bus.
Claims19
A radio communications system for a small form factor satellite, comprising:
- a printed circuit board including:
- a UHF/VHF radio generating radio messages based on radio waves received by an antenna;
- an S-band radio;
- and
- a processor coupled to the radios, the processor handling radio communications for the satellite by:
- receiving the radio messages from the UHF/VHF radio;
- generating command signals based on the radio messages;
- and
- transmitting the command signals to a plurality of systems that are coupled to the radio communications system via a bus.
A radio communications system for a small form factor satellite, comprising:
- a first printed circuit board implementing a UHF/VHF radio, the UHF/VHF radio generating radio messages based on radio waves received by an antenna;
- a second printed circuit board implementing an S-band radio;
- and
- a processor coupled to the radios, the processor handling radio communications for the satellite by:
- receiving the radio messages from the UHF/VHF radio;
- generating command signals based on the radio messages;
- and
- transmitting the command signals to a plurality of systems coupled to the radio communications system via a bus.
