Flight Antenna – Simple Dipole Design




Flight Equipment
Transmitter RFM22B


Note: This flight and ground system shown here have worked with a previous CubeSat
see URL: //lbym.sonoma.edu/T-LogoQube (aka Eagle1 by AirForce). We can operate our
RFM22B transceiver at a lower rate ~500 baud if we need extra bandwidth margin.




Ground System


The Spacecraft uses the following receive and transmit frequencies.



Note: Discrete values are expected rather than ranges.
