RF SCOE

About RF SCOE

Radio Frequency Special Check-Out Equipment (RF SCOE) is an integrated system that is used to validate the RF subsystems of a satellite during integration and testing.

As most satellite RF subsystems are unique per satellite, the RF SCOE is based on a combination of C-STS standard OnboardRF Interface, and Software products in combination with COTS equipment to meet the customer requirements. Most commonly this RF subsystem is integrated into an overall 19″ rack. However, C-STS has also delivered elements for integration into the RF SCOE as a sub-contractor.
