Abstract
The flight Radio Frequency Subsystem (RFS) is a vital component for the three spacecraft telecommunications functions of tracking, command, and telemetry. It is the radio and the signal processing equipment residing in the spacecraft that interfaces with the Control & Data Subsystem and performs two-way communications with the earth-based Deep Space Network. The RFS consists of all the elements for RF reception, demodulation, modulation, and transmission, including those for command detection and telemetry modulation.
