Abstract

The size, mass and cost of telecommunications systems on deep space missions have increased at almost an exponential rate over the last thirty years. Great cost and size reduction of these systems can be achieved by reducing the cost and size of the transponder component of the radio subsystem. An advanced technology X- and Ka-band (8 and 32 GHz) tiny transmitter is being developed at JPL for the New Millennium program and is described in this paper. The tiny transmitter is the first phase of development of the tiny transponder which will incorporate recent advancements in miniaturization and flexibility of radio systems by utilizing digital radio techniques. These techniques incorporate digital technology and algorithms to perform many functions which have traditionally been performed by analog circuits and allow the complexity of the rf portion of the radio to be minimized. The tiny transponder will be able to meet the needs of almost all deep space missions presently being planned for launch after the year 2000.
