xHF Comms - UHF/VHF communications module for CubeSats

The xHF Comms by TakeMe2Space is a communication module designed to facilitate robust and reliable communication between a satellite and a ground station. It operates in both the Very High Frequency (VHF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) bands, with the specific frequency determined by the configuration. The VHF channel operates at a frequency of 100-200 MHz, while the UHF channel operates at 300-500 MHz. This dual-band capability allows for flexibility in communication, depending on the mission requirements, environmental conditions, and regulatory constraints.

xHF Comms operates in half-duplex mode to ensure efficient and secure communication, significantly minimising the risk for signal interference.

The xHF Comms board interfaces with the satellite using two primary communication protocols,  FD-CAN and RS-485, both of which are designed to ensure high-speed, reliable data transfer.
