Inter-Satellite Communications for Small Satellite Systems
Small satellite technology has opened a new era in aerospace engineering by decreasing space mission costs, without greatly reducing the performance. The concept of formation flying using small satellites is becoming popular because of their potential to perform coordinated measurements of remote sensing space missions. The current state of art in satellite communications is a one hop link betw...
متن کاملSatellite Communications
We are delighted to bring to you this special issue on satellite communications, which we have prepared as part of the spreading of excellence remit of the satellite communications network of excellence (SatNEx). The SatNEx project, which began in 2004, is funded for five years under the Euro-pean Union's Sixth Framework Programme (FP6) Information Society Technologies (IST) Thematic Area. Led ...
متن کاملPower Amplifier Linearization Using Six-port Receiver for DVB-S2 Satellite Communications
A digital look-up table adaptive predistortion technique using a six-port receiver for power amplifier linearization is presented. The system is designed in Ka-band for a DVB-S2 satellite link. We use a six-port receiver at the linearizationloop in place of classic heterodyne receivers. The six-port receiver is implemented by the use of passive microwavecircuits and detector diodes. This approa...
متن کاملTrends in satellite communications and the role of optical free-space communications
The communication needs of Earth observation satellites is steadily increasing. Within a few years, the data rate of such satellites will exceed 1 Gbps, the angular resolution of sensors will be less than 1 μrad, and the memory size of onboard data recorders will be beyond 1 Tbytes. Compared to radio frequency links, optical communications in space offer various advantages such as smaller and l...
متن کاملExperimental Satellite Quantum Communications.
Quantum communication (QC), namely, the faithful transmission of generic quantum states, is a key ingredient of quantum information science. Here we demonstrate QC with polarization encoding from space to ground by exploiting satellite corner cube retroreflectors as quantum transmitters in orbit and the Matera Laser Ranging Observatory of the Italian Space Agency in Matera, Italy, as a quantum ...
