D.T.MUX TX-MOD
Applications Flight testGround telemetry
A user-programmable airborne telemetry transmitter delivering 1 to 20 W across S, L and C-band, with SOQPSK and LDPC coding for reliable ground-link performance.
On-board digital telemetry transmitter module — standalone or for the NanoX system — that sends airborne test data to ground stations with fully user-programmable frequency and modulation. 1 to 20 W across S/L/C-band with LDPC and SOQPSK, qualified for pods and fighter, surveillance and helicopter operations.
The TX-MOD operates either as a standalone airborne transmitter or as an integrated module of the D.T.MUX NanoX system, sending flight-test data from the test target to ground stations. Frequency and modulation are fully user-programmable, and configuration settings are held in nonvolatile solid-state memory so the unit retains its setup between missions.
It accepts data and clock on RS422 lines at rates up to 40 Mbps and is monitored over a separate RS232 link, making it straightforward to embed in fighter, surveillance and helicopter installations as well as instrumentation pods.

SOQPSK, LDPC and Space Time Coding
The TX-MOD supports ARTM Tier 1 SOQPSK-TG modulation for spectrally efficient transmission and offers an LDPC coding option (code blocks 1024 and 4096 at rates 1/2, 2/3 and 4/5, per IRIG 106-15 Appendix R) to strengthen the ground link. A Space Time Coding (STC) option adds a 2x5 W dual-antenna configuration per IRIG 106-15 Appendix S to mitigate multipath and antenna-shadowing dropouts. All modes comply with IRIG 106 telemetry standards.
