Apsis Science and Technology Inc.
JESD204B Software Defined Radio for Low Earth Orbit — Apsis Science and Technology Inc. proposes to develop a novel Software Defined Radio, utilizing the JESD 204b digital interface standard, to adopt cutting edge radio transceiver chipsets from Analog Devices, Inc. This standard enables modular, plug-and-play selection for high speed (>1 GSPS) ADCs, DACs, Mixed Signal transceivers, and Direct Conversion receivers operating up to V-band. The company will support a wide catalog of these chipsets with radiation testing heritage and built-in driver support. For this project, the company will develop a prototype and provide engineering models to select customers. Several prominent Canadian space companies have indicated a clear interest in this product. By virtue of its software defined design, it can be used as a general-purpose radio transmitter/receiver, or as the foundation of a radio communication system. Apsis Tech will offer this product domestically and internationally, creating solid Canadian jobs while serving the Canadian and inter
