  • Abstract
    CubeSat communication links require small size, low power, and low cost transceivers. Link parameters resulting from the satellite´s low earth orbit (LEO) can impair transceiver performance, degrading mission data throughput. This paper describes the characteristics and control of a new CubeSat transceiver. The new transceiver provides an estimated 300% increase in data throughput for a typical 45-degree maximum elevation angle LEO pass over the Aerocube-2 transceiver.
