Unified transceivers "Oktant" in 4/6 and 11/14 GHz range for small communication-satellite earth stations and data-sending stations

A special feature of the production of transceiving equipment of communication satellite earth stations is the relatively small number of fully developed products available. The transceivers are used in two frequency ranges, 4/6 and 11/14 GHz. They differ in composition depending on the purpose (terminal or central), functions (digital data transmission or telephony), siting (stationary or mobile). Production profitability in this case depends much on the extent of the samples uniformity. The paper presents the development results of transceivers for earth stations, the main feature of which is the unification of circuitry, and the design and technological approaches, which makes it possible to meet most of the consumers' requirements with the minimum of expense.
