Cubic Corporation announces that its Microelectronics business, Nuvotronics, has been selected by MDA Space Ltd., a leading provider of advanced technology and services to the rapidly expanding global space industry, as part of the company’s supply chain for MDA AURORA™, a game-changing product line driving the transition from analog to digital satellite technology.

Nuvotronics will provide high performance mmWave filters, which offer size reduction, lower insertion losses, superior rejection and ease of integration for the MDA Space supply chain for advanced satellite applications. In addition to filters, Nuvotronics will provide high-performance baluns for the MDA Space supply chain. The Nuvotronics micro-coaxial baluns are compact devices that facilitate customer integration challenges while delivering high channel-to-channel isolation.

The MDA AURORA™ supply chain will help support product deliveries for anchor customer Telesat’s low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation Telesat Lightspeed, an innovative, advanced global network that will bring enterprise-class connectivity to customers worldwide.

Nuvotronics’ PolyStrata® components are space flight proven and provide repeatable performance in easy to use surface mount packages.

“Nuvotronics’ expansion of our PolyStrata® production facility has enabled us to meet our customers’ volume requirements while continuing to deliver on performance and quality,” said Jean-Marc Rollin, head of product marketing and sales at Nuvotronics. “Nuvotronics has been delivering high performance baluns to the test and measurement market for years, and we are excited to introduce these products to the satellite market along with our filters.”

Designed to meet the changing technical and business requirements of the satellite industry, the software-defined MDA AURORA™ product line provides operators with unparalleled flexibility and functionality, dramatically enhancing constellation performance at reduced cost and time to market.
