Abstract(in English) Recently small satellites start playing important roles in earth observation missions. It, however, is true that small satellites have drawbacks of sensor resolutions and down link data rate. As a solution to the latter drawback, we have developed novel communications system for 320 Mbps down link with 16QAM for small satellites with 50 kg class. We developed a new 2 W class GaN-HEMT X-band amplifier with high efficiency and small distortion, digital filter and pre-distortion processing with relatively low clock frequency in FPGAs. This paper describes the transmitter design and evaluation result of the engineering model.
