Abstract
The receiver subsystem supplies the front end assembly (downconverter) and power supply for the ORION Mobile Station. These assemblies are designed to withstand severe environmental conditions. This article discusses the mechanical, electronic, environmental and maintenance design considerations encountered during the design phase of this project. The two channel S/X downconverter has a 400-MHz bandwidth channel. Phase stability of 2 and 7 deg at S- and X-bands, respectively, has been achieved with a temperature stabilized first local oscillator.
