Deep Space Communications: An Introduction
Since the beginning, with Sputnik in 1957 and Explorer in 1958, space missions have gone farther and have become more and more demanding in data return to enable far more ambitious science goals. This is particularly so for probes in deep space—at the Moon and farther. In the 1960s and 1970s, the missions were planet flybys, which typically have short encounter periods. Then the missions progre...
متن کاملSpace Weather Support for Communications
Ionospheric variability (space weather) significantly impacts ground and space-based communications. In essence, the electrically charged particles of the ionosphere (i.e., the partially ionized portion of the atmosphere starting at about 40 nautical miles (nm) above the Earth's surface) can attenuate, totally absorb, reflect, change direction of propagation, and change the phase and amplitude ...
متن کاملSpace Weather Effects on Communications
An overview of historical and contemporary impacts of the solar and geospace environments on communications systems. Abstract In the last century and one-half, since the invention and deployment of the first electrical communication system – the electrical telegraph, the variety of communications technologies that can be affected by natural processes occurring on the Sun and in the space enviro...
متن کاملTiming errors in distributed space-time communications
In this paper we study the effects of timing errors on distributed space-time codes for collaborative communications. We assume a half duplex, decode and forward scheme, where two relaying nodes are not perfectly synchronized in forwarding. We analyze 1) the impact of this asynchronism on the performance of an Alamouti and a Golden code scheme with different types of detectors, and 2) the sensi...
متن کاملDiversity Techniques in Free-Space Optical Communications
Free-space optical (FSO) communication offers significant technical and operational advantages such as higher bandwidth capacity, robustness to electromagnetic interference, a high degree of spatial confinement (bringing virtually unlimited reuse and inherent security), low power requirements, and unregulated spectrum. FSO communication can be deployed as an efficient solution for a wide range ...
