Since the existing tech levels stop at 2008, create TL10 for the 2009-2018 node. Mostly based on the communications package in the Parker Solar Probe; COTS software-defined radios, GaN solid state power supplies, and improved TWTAs greatly reduce the mass of communications equipment, while also bringing minor gains in efficiency.
No significant improvements on the DSN side, but improvements to the Ka-band feeds reduces antenna noise, and construction of additional 34-meter BWG antennas means 2 34-meter antennas are available at all times for arrayed operations, improving the effective gain in the Ka-band.
