The transponder ensures up to 100 Mbit s1 of data rate with a target power consumption of 20W and an overall volume of 1.5U, not including the antenna. To reduce the costs, commercial off-the-shelf electronic components are used whenever possible. Exploiting a data communication interface like the one proposed, the small satellites market could be opened to new applications such as remote sensing, Earth observation and commercial telecommunications.

Abstract
This paper describes the feasibility study of a Ka-band transceiver designed for small satellite and CubeSat operations. The transponder ensures up to 100 Mbit s1 of data rate with a target power consumption of 20W and an overall volume of 1.5U, not including the antenna. To reduce the costs, commercial off-the-shelf electronic components are used whenever possible. Exploiting a data communication interface like the one proposed, the small satellites market could be opened to new applications such as remote sensing, Earth observation and commercial telecommunications.
