The Uvsq-Sat NG communication subsystem is tasked with establishing and maintaining
communication links between the satellite and ground stations. Its primary goal is to
enable the smooth transmission of data, commands, and telemetry information to and from
the satellite. The key components of this subsystem include the TRXVU communication
device (UHF/VHF band), the UHF/VHF antennas, the TXS high-data-rate S-band transmitter,
and the S-band patch antenna. The S-band downlink, with the platform oriented towards
Nadir, falls within the frequency allocation of 2200 to 2290 MHz. The Isispace VHF
Receiver (RX) operates in the commercial frequency range of 148 to 150.5 MHz, and for
amateur frequency coordination, it operates within the frequency range of 145.8 to 146.0
MHz. On the other hand, the Isispace VHF Transmitter (TX) covers the commercial frequency
range of 400.15 to 402.0 MHz and, for amateur usage, it spans the range of 435.0 to 438.0
MHz. An audio transponder will also be used with the amateur radio community.
