Planar High-Performance Antennas with Beam Steering, for LEO, Cubesat and COTM Satellite Terminals
نویسنده
چکیده
User terminals for Communications-On-The-Move (COTM) systems and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellite ground terminals require antennas with high gain and steerable beams. LEO cubesats offer unprecedented opportunities for scientific discoveries as well as commercial space adventures. Internet is provided to aeroplanes, ships and defence and other vehicles by COTM systems. About four billion people in the world who do not have internet at present will be served by emerging low-cost LEO constellations.

Communications On The Move (COTM) has increased dramatically in the last years. The need for broadband connectivity on vessels, aircraft and ground vehicles has demanded new terminals that can provide this services. Along with these needs, there are physical and security considerations that need to be taken in account. Military campaigns are specially prone to the use of COTM. Military personne...

An efficient resource allocation is important to guarantee the best performance with a fair distribution of multi-beam satellite capacity to provide satellite multimedia and broadcasting services. In this way, available bandwidth and capacity problems in new satellite system likes Multi-Input-Multi-Output (MIMO), exploring new techniques for enhancing spectral efficiency in satellite communicat...
متن کاملA CubeSat-Based Optical Communication Network for Low Earth Orbit
A common challenge in developing small-satellite-based Earth-observation (EO) missions is getting the data to the ground. Typically, most satellites download data via space-to-ground radio-frequency (RF) links, communicating directly with fixed ground stations as the satellites fly within range. For many next-generation EO missions, such as hyperspectral imaging or SAR missions, the volume of d...
متن کاملPerformance Comparison of Reflector- and Planar-Antenna Based Digital Beam-Forming SAR
The trend in the conception of future spaceborne radar remote sensing is clearly toward the use of digital beamforming techniques. These systems will comprise multiple digital channels, where the analog-to-digital converter is moved closer to the antenna. This dispenses the need for analog beam steering and by this the used of transmit/receive modules for phase and amplitude control. Digital be...
متن کاملA BEAM STEERING TECHNIQUE USING DIELECTRIC WEDGES by MOHAMMAD
The thesis describes a method of' beam steering aimed at producing a useful amount of deflection of an antenna beam from boresight, by a simple and Inexpensive method. For large antennas, It is difficult, as well as expensive, to steer the beam by more than a few beamwidths. The method studied was developed with particular reference to the beam steering requirements of Direct Broadcast Satellit...
