This project consists of the development and implementation of a demonstrator for DVB-S2X wideband transmission links - supporting baud rates up to 1.4 Gsps.
In this project, the Space Norway led consortium with Kongsberg Seatex and FFI have
measured the actual downlink performance of the world´s first VHF Data Exchange System (VDES) payload in space under realistic conditions in the Arctic and at other locations. At the time of contract award, in 2015, the downlink waveforms were not specified and...
The objective is to identify on-board transmitter and receiver technologies that enable two-way VHF data exchange via Low Earth Orbit Satellite, according to the emerging VDES specifications.
The SCNE enables to study and assess protocol performances of new LEO constellations, ranging from low speed data collection and mobile communications, to broadband and broadcast services.
The co-simulation approach, which couples orbital and network simulation, facilitates the correlation between network and orbital events and enables to...
The project’s outcomes deal with the design, implementation, test and demonstration of a prototype backhauling solution (satellite terminal, satellite gateway and NB-IoT network functions) which is capable of providing NB-IoT backhauling services. The purposes of this activity is using the latest satellite backhauling technologies and standards in...
The aim of the study is to design, manufacture and test an EBB (Elegant BreadBoard) of an opto-microwave wideband reconfigurable receiver front-end (OWR-RFE) for future broadband telecom payloads.
