GOES Satellite Transmitter
The Satellite Radio Transmitter makes telemetry possible through the
GOES, Meteosat, Argos, and SCD satellites. The transmitter has to be
mounted inside the enclosure. The satellite transmitter is provided with
the necessary cables, antenna, coaxial surge arrester for RF-signal, and
all mounting hardware.
The transmitter has Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator
(TCXO) which provides the long-term frequency stability necessary to
keep the transmitter on the assigned frequency. Use of a GPS receiver,
either embedded or external, offers additional time management
stability. The transmitter is extremely efficient with power and has low
power consumption during a transmission, less than 2.75 A.
When connecting GOES Transmitter to the QML logger, you need to
use the terminal strip to provide power for the transmitter. For the
