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-function Decommutator
LS-55-DD
-
The Lumistar LS-55-DD PCI Dual Multi-function PCM Decommutator offers two multifunction decoms and two optional bit synchronizers (LS-45) in a single PCI card slot. The multi-function decoms are implemented in FPGA using a next generation design based on the LS-50-P. The simulators,decommutators, time code reader and time code generator are achieved on the main board and the bit synchronizer is achieved through a low-profile daughterboard. CVSD voice, h.261 video, and IRIG Chapter 8 decoding are achieved through software.

Ruggedized Small-Size Telemetry System, Requiring Laptop for Display and Control
LS-84-EC
-
The Lumistar LS-84-EC “Economy Chassis” Telemetry System offers a low cost, high performance COTS solution for a portable quick look ground/remote/airborne station. The unit has a built-in computer running Windows 10 (WIN 7 option) for stand-alonecontrol or can be controlled remotely over TCP/IP. Using Lumistar’s PCI-based or modular line of telemetry products, acomplete telemetry ground station can be configured in a very small space. Functions such as RF reception, demodulation, bitsynchronization, simulation, frame sync, decom, data archive and real-time display can all be handled in this unit. Data can bearchived on an internal solid state drive or external serial ATA or USB 2.0 drive. A laptop using a network connection providesremote control and access to real-time displays. The I/O connections from individual PCI cards are hardwired internally within the chassis, thus allowing a bulkhead mount configuration on the rear panel of the chassis.

Multi-Band Quad-Channel Receiver/Combiner, 4U Rack Mount System with Integral Tracking Receivers and Bit Syncs
LS-28-QRS
-
Lumistar offers the LS-28 series of high performance multi-band multi-mode RF Receiver/Combiners in several different versions including rack mount, portable and modular formats. Complete solutions from RF to bits and/or RF to UDP data broadcast in Chapter 10 format are available. Available at any frequency range from 215 MHz to 6000 MHz, data rates to 50 Mbps.

1U Quad Bit Sync for Data Rates up to 40 Mbps
LS-44-QBS
-
The LS-44-QBS contains up to 4 Lumistar LS-40-DB25 Bit Synchronizer Daughterboards in a 1U RackMount chassis with status lights on the front panel and all interconnections through the rear. The design contains an internal computer which runsoff DOS or Windows depending on the version selected. The DOS version boots quickly without the delays required for Windows startup. The Windows version offers networking. The unit can be connected directly to the optional 1U slideout keyboard/display, for setup resulting in only 2U of total rack height. For applications that require many bit synchronizers, a 1U keyboard/Display with KVM switch allows 32 bit synchronizers in 9U of rack height. When power is applied, the computer will operate with the last configuration unless the operator wishes to change the setup. For setup, the keyboard/display is pulled out and the display is flipped up to monitor the process. When the bit synchronizer setup is completed, the keyboard/display canbe closed up since the status can be monitored on the front panel without an external display.

RF Telemetry Receivers, Tracking Receivers, Down Converters
-
Lumistar offers single PCI slot multi-band FM receivers. The same product in a “drive Bay” configuration is available. All Lumistar FM receivers can come without the FM demodulator use as antenna tracking receivers or for use as down converters used with an IF receiver for multi-mode digital combining and demodulation. Dual channel versions are also available.

IF Digital Processing Board for Demodulation and Combining
LS-35-R
-
The Lumistar LS-35-R is part of the Lumistar family of digital processing boards used for programmable telemetry systems. The LS-35-R consists of a digital processing main board with two high capacity Xilinx Virtex-5 arrays. The LS-35-R provides a two-channel IF Receiver with Pre/Post detect combining, multimode demodulators with data rates up to 40 Mbps, bit synchronizer outputs, Viterbi decoding, spectral and constellation display, BER reader display and 70 MHz IF modulator with calibratednoise feature. The all-digital design assures a consistent product with high reliability and long-term stability.

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.

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.
