RT Logic's T400TSS
Waveform Signal Generator Available
(24 April 2008) RT Logic, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Integral Systems, Inc., today announced the availability of
its Waveform Signal Generator product, the Telemetrix 400TSS
(T400TSS).
RT Logic's T400TSS is a modular, software- defined
telemetry simulator and signal generator.
The T400TSS's flexible
architecture supports many different missions, including testing telemetry
subsystems within satellite ground stations, missile and satellite factories,
and calibration laboratories, as well as command generation. The output
frequency ranges include L- and S-Band RF, 70 MHz IF, and baseband telemetry
and/or command data.
The T400TSS signal modulator supports virtually all
popular commercial and Government telemetry (and command) signal waveforms
including FM, PM, FSK, BPSK, QPSK, OQPSK (SQPSK), and SOQPSK (MIL-STD and TG).
Frequency sweeping enables receiver testing against simulated dynamics.
Variable output amplitudes enable testing of acquisition and lock thresholds,
AGC (Automatic Gain Control) performance, and fading performance. A built-in
BER (Bit Error Rate) tester with clock and data inputs, is included for
standalone testing of telemetry receivers. RT Logic down converters and
demodulation software/firmware are optionally available to support return link
processing for loop-back or BER testing.
The T400TSS is the newest
member of RT Logic's powerful line of link simulation test equipment. The
T400TSS can be combined with the T400CS, T400MSP, and the T400SE to simulate
and analyse virtually any space communication situation.
"The modular
architecture of the system and the software-defined nature of its signal
processing allow the T400TSS to support both legacy and new telemetry
simulation applications with little or no new development," commented Matt
Langenbahn, Project Manager in the RF and Communications Products group. "This
provides our customers with an economical solution that avoids obsolescence
with the advent of new waveforms in the future."
