Development of Miniaturized 30/20GHz Down Converter for Satellite Use
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The development of the small size and lightweight 30/20GHz Down Converter (hereinafter “KaD/C”) , 470g, 90 X 65 X 65 mm ,for satellite use has been completed. It consists of RF section, LO section and EPC section. The RF section consists of MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) amplifier and Fine MIC (Microwave Integrated Circuit) mixer. They are mounted on multilayer HTCC (High Temperature Co-fired Ceramics) substrates as a package structure, which is called MCM (Multi Chip Module). The LO section and the EPC section also have been designed and manufactured lightweight and small size with our high density assembling technology. In electrical performance, the low spurious level has been achieved by adopting the balance type Fine MIC mixer. The space qualification test is in process. 1.Introduction Recently, the number of channels required for the satellite communication system has become larger because the amount of the communication data handled in the communication system has rapidly increased, and consequently it requires D/C (Down Converter) and all other communication equipment to be small size and lightweight. This paper describes the development result of the Ka-D/C for satellite use. The RF section applies MMIC amplifier and Fine MIC mixer. The LO section and the EPC section is miniaturized by adopting small parts and simple topology. In electric performance, low spurious level has been achieved by adopting balance type Fine MIC mixer. 2.Configuration The functional block diagram and the photograph of Ka-D/C are shown in Fig.-1.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
