Lumistar Inc.
Lumistar designs and manufactures telemetry products for the flight test and antenna tracking communities. Board level products are manufactured with PCI, PCIe, cPCI bus interfaces as well as continuing support of ISA and VME legacy products. Lumistar products are also available without a PC interface or require an OS to operate. Serial, USB or Ethernet interfaces are used for control. Well documented application software with example code allows users to write their own applications for integration of Lumistar products into their telemetry systems.

Dual Channel Multi-Band FM Tracking/Data Receiver In Modular Style Housing
LS-27-B
-
The Lumistar LS-27-B Modular Dual Channel Tri-Band Tracking and Data Receiver is Lumistar’s third generation of modular high performance FM Receivers. This wideband designs supports one or two independent channels of PCM with data rates up to 20Mbps. The unit includes both an optional FM demodulated output for PCM data, and standard programmable AM/linear AGC outputs for auto-tracking receivers. The design offers 8 IF Bandwidths and 8 Video Filters per channel for each receiver.AC coupling with a low pass filter is employed to ensure a high quality data link with long strings of NRZ-L ones or zeroes. The unit provides a software selectable 10 MHz reference I/O port forlocking local oscillators to a high precision external source or to arrange multiple units in a master/slave arrangement. The receiver’s control and status is achieved via Ethernet, USB or auto-switched RS-232 (or “4-wire” RS-485 in place of 232). When utilizing the RS-422 interface, multi-drop configurations can be accommodated.

PCI Bit Synchronizer
LS-40-P
-
The Lumistar LS-40-P PCI Bit Synchronizer provides optimal reconstruction of a serial PCM data stream that has been corrupted by noise, phase jitter, amplitude modulation, or base line variations. The all-digital design assures a consistent product with high reliability and long-term stability. The LS-40-P PCI Bit Synchronizer consists of the LS-40-DB Bit Synchronizer Daughterboard shown below mounted on a PCI carrier board.

Telemetry Transmitter for FM with up to 3 Bands
LS-11-F
-
The LS-11-F portable FM test transmitter is designed for checkout and troubleshooting of telemetry receiving systems operating with FM modulation. For applications with any of the ARTM modulations (Tier 0, Tier I, or Tier II), please refer to the LS-11-M Data Sheet. Complete ground stations including the antenna with LNA, RF down-converter, IF receiver, bit synchronizer, and PCM decommutator can be tested and bit error tests performed. The design allows secure links to be tested with an external encryptor. The Test Transmitter contains an internal PCM Data Simulator and Pseudorandom patterngenerator that operates in a BERT mode. The device provides simulated clock and data (without transmitter enabled) and accepts external data for modulating the internal transmitter. Complete setup can be achieved locally through the keypad and two-line LCD display or remotely through the USB Interface. Operational parameters include the PCM format parameter database information (frame sync patterns, wavewords, etc…), pre-modulation filter selection, transmitter carrier frequency, transmitter deviation, and output power level. Output power can be selected from approx. -60 to +5 dBm in 5 dB steps. The Test Transmitter contains a LiFePO4 Battery (Lithium Iron Phosphate), which provides higher energy density at ¼ the weight of legacy lead-acid batteries. The unit also provides an internal battery charger and will operate for up to twelve hours on battery power having received on a full charge.

PCI Dual Channel Multi-Band Down Converter
LS-27-D
-
The Lumistar LS-27-D3 TwoChannel Quad Band PCI Down Converter product is a 3rd generation high-density, high performance down converter designed using the sameadvanced technology as in the industry leading LS-25 PCIReceiver. The down-converter converts one or two independent channels of up to four RF frequency bands down to a 70 MHz IF output. The LS-27-D3 is typically used in conjunction with theLumistar LS-35 Series Digital IF Receiver/Combiner to provide one or two independent telemetry receivers, or a dual diversity combining receiver, with up to two multi-mode demodulators and bit synchronizers in a two-slot PCI interface. The number of channels and frequency band designations can be specified at the time of order. Please see the data sheet for the LS-35-R Digital IF Receiver/Combiner for more information.
