Modeling Ka-band scintillation as a fractal process
We propose a model that describes the signal fading process due to scintillation in the presence of rain. We analyzed a data set of up-link (30 GHz) and down-link (20 GHz) attenuation values averaged over 1 second intervals. The data are samples relative to 10 significant events, for a total of 180,000 s, recorded at the Spino d’Adda (North of Italy) station using the Olympus satellite. Our ana...
متن کاملSolar Corona Amplitude Scintillation Modeling and Comparison to Measurements at X-Band and Ka-Band
Signal-strength fluctuations on a spacecraft-to-Earth link due to solar charged particles can degrade telemetry performance. The degree of amplitude scintillation induced on an emitted spacecraft signal by the intervening charged particles of the solar corona during a spacecraft-to-Earth superior conjunction depends on the minimum distance from the Sun of the signal ray path (solar elongation),...
متن کاملKa - Band Linearization
The new Ka-band communications services require highly linear, high power amplifiers (HPAs). Traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs) offer the best millimeter wave HPA performance in terms of power and efficiency, but are inferior to solid state power amplifiers (SSPAs) in linearity. This paper discusses techniques for improving millimeter wave HPA linearity. The significance and methods for eva...
متن کاملKa Band and Beyond—A Survey
This paper discusses system and technology aspects crucial to the development of satellite communications at Ka band (20–30 GHz) and beyond. It surveys the evolution of Ka band geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) satellite communications until the present stage of development of systems for direct-to-user (DTU) provision of interactive multimedia services worldwide. Then it discusses the attenuatio...
متن کاملKa Band Transmit Antenna Array
Active antenna arrays working at higher frequencies result in higher packaging densities. The antenna array under consideration operates at about 30 GHz and will be installed in an aircraft. Commercially available power amplifiers at these frequencies have an efficiency of typically 20 %, which results in high amounts of dissipated heat for the required high radiated power. The dissipated power...
