Product / Service / Licensing

Product Name:	Antenna Products
Antenna Products: Design and manufacture of specialized antenna subsystems for spaceborne, airborne, shipborne and mobile communications. Items such as satellite EHF intersatellite link antennas, satellite communications high power feed antennas, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) phased array high power beamforming networks, are available from UHF to EHF frequencies.
Product Name:	BEAM*LINK Satellite On-Board Signal Processor
Signal transparent analogue sub-channellizer for routing and repeating upcomming traffic to appropriate downlink channels on-board communication satellites.
Product Name:	IF Signal Processing and SAW Based Products
IF Signal Processing and SAW-Based Products: Advanced signal processing components and subassemblies for satellite communications, channelizing and switching subsystems for mobile satellite and fixed satellite service (FSS), and radar subsystems, i.e. bandpass filters, dispersive delay lines, SAW oscillators and synthesizers, microscan Electronic Support Measures (ESM) receivers, code, analog and digital chirp waveform generators.
Product Name:	Lithium-Ion Batteries for Spacecraft.
COM DEV was a pioneer in the development of a line of space qualified, small-cell Litium-Ion batteries. COM DEV's Li-Ion battery power storage systems for satellites and spacecraft signicantly reduce the mass and increase power storage capacity and reliability compared to other battery systems currently in use in space.
Product Name:	Microwave Switches, Filters and Multiplexers
With over half the world market COM DEV is the dominant global supplier of multiplexers and wave-guide switches, coaxial switches and other micrwave filter products for communications, science and exploration satellites and spacecraft.
