Popis: In this paper we discuss the necessary technology required to enable the future of spectrum resource constrained missions. We discuss the CubeSat Radiometer Radio Frequency Interference Technology (CubeRRT) validation mission and the development of its digital backend, necessary for performing on-board RFI detection and filtering for wideband high frequency radiometry. The CubeRRT mission will validate the on-board RFI filtering technology solving technological challenges such as bandwidth, data downlink volume, and RFI types. We present a few initial results of the backend spectrometer leading to full-system integration and test.
