On the Use of W-Band for Deep-Space Communications
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article, the performance of W-band (90 GHz) over a Deep Space Network’s 34-m beam-waveguide (BWG) antenna is analyzed in terms of its average data return. In order to do so, data were collected from various sources about the performance of various W-band components. In addition, equations for calculating the W-band atmospheric noise temperature from water vapor radiometer 31.4-GHz sky-brightness measurements were obtained. Using these data it is shown that, even if the W-band link is operated optimally, due to weather effects the efficiency of the 34-m BWG antenna needs to be significantly improved from its current 18 percent efficiency to greater than 50 percent efficiency in order for the W-band link to return on the average significantly more (>2 dB) data than an optimum Ka-band link.

متن کامل$L^p$-Conjecture on Hypergroups
In this paper, we study $L^p$-conjecture on locally compact hypergroups and by some technical proofs we give some sufficient and necessary conditions for a weighted Lebesgue space $L^p(K,w)$ to be a convolution Banach algebra, where $1<p<infty$, $K$ is a locally compact hypergroup and $w$ is a weight function on $K$. Among the other things, we also show that if $K$ is a locally compact hyper...
متن کاملFractal Bandpass Filter Using Y-shaped Dual-Mode Resonator for C-Band Receiver (Research Note)
In this study, a fractal, Y-shaped dual-mode resonator bandpass filter (BPF) with input-output cross-coupling is introduced. A parallel-coupling feed structure with a cross coupling has been used to generate two transmission zeroes (TZs) near the lower and upper cutoff frequency that can effectively improve the passband edge selectivity. Also, a fractal shaped based on conventional diamond and ...
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...

Abstract The spontaneous emission spectrum from a driven three-level atom placed inside a double-band photonic crystal has been investigated. We use the model which assumes the upper levels of the atomic transition are coupled via a classical driving field. The transition from one of the upper levels to lower level couples to the modes of the modified reservoir, and the transition from the oth...
