L-3 Telemetry-East (L-3 TE) introduces a new generation of ST-5000 telemetry transmitters with the fully qualified S-Band and the full-band, higher power C-band series. The ST-5000 family of transmitters is designed for operation in environments where size, weight, and power efficiencies are critical. The new ST-5000 series extends battery life and features ultra-high power efficiency, full isolation, and serial-loading programmability.

L-3 TE teamed with L-3 Nova Engineering to bring C- and S-Band capabilities to the telemetry marketplace. The new ST-5000 units continue the success of L-3 TE’s ST-800, 3000 and 4000 series of transmitters in a new generation.

The ST-5000 S-band is available in programmable 2, 5, and 10 watt versions, while the C-band version is available in programmable 2, 5, 10 and 15 watt versions. S-band frequencies are adjustable in 0.5 MHz steps from 2200 – 2400 MHz. C-band frequencies are also adjustable in 0.5 MHz steps from 4400 – 4950 MHz and 5050 – 5250 MHz in a single unit.


Center frequency, deviation sensitivity, and other features can be programmed through a serial communications port using a PC. The ST-5000 three internal modules (modulator, regulator, and power amplifier) are housed in separate machined enclosures to maximize RF isolation, while providing a rigid and robust mechanical design that will withstand the harshest of missile, weapons, and aircraft environments.
