The objective of the study was to develop several Land Mobile Satellite channel propagation models which can cover land-mobile satellite, aeronautical and maritime environments, and which are intended to be used for system design and/or air-interface performance optimisation for frequencies below 10 GHz.
The Beacon programme covers the design, development and qualification of two beacon products, one operating at C band frequencies and the other at Ku band frequencies.
The dual beacon programme covers the design, development and qualification of a switchable dual frequency beacon product, following up on the previous development of single frequency beacons.
NetCaster will provide a solution for customers looking for multi-party conferencing over the Alphasat and Inmarat-4 satellites with low capital investment and control over operational costs.
The NXY project was supported by ESA and undertaken by Avanti Communications to implement a content distribution solution over the satellite to end users using multicasting in order to lower the total bandwidth consumption from the operator´s perspective as well as give users the chance to consume VOD / IPTV kind of services without increasing the user´s bandwidth consumption.
The overall project objective is to advance the European State-of-the-Art in multi-frequency mobile user terminal antenna technology. The specific objective is to demonstrate by design, manufacture and test the viability of Artificial Magnetic Conductor technology for multi-frequency mobile user terminal antennas.
The purpose of this project was to develop a new generation of a compact GPS receiver family
(dual or single frequency) able to deal with new civil L2CS GPS signal.
The Feasibility Study addresses an innovative approach to providing an end to end service management capability at low cost (as compared to existing systems of today) for a hybrid terrestrial-space communications scenario.
The continuing push to higher TWTA power levels and EPC voltages, respectively in combination with higher efficiency and lower mass and volume is currently limited by known insulation technology.
The objective of this ARTES3-4 project is to design, manufacture and qualify an Engineering Qualification Model of a full carbon reflector of 2.05m diameter and an Engineering Model of a high efficiency feed.
Iris is the programme to develop a new Air-Ground communication system for Air Traffic Management as the satellite-based communication solution for the SESAR programme. Phase 1 is completed. Phase 2 (2.1 during 2009-17 and 2.2 during 2014-2017), includes the present study and concerns the design and development of the new satellite communication standard. Approval of Iris Phase 2.2 is conditional to the Agency having negotiated an agreement with a satellite operator and/or a satellite service provider for provision of the safety communication service to aviation. This study is an enabler for such negotiations to be initiated.
The RF Converters market has recently significantly evolved: new programs show a great step in terms of linearity performances which induce higher heat dissipation. Requests for proposal (RFP) and programs have convinced THALES ALENIA SPACE to analyze the feasibility of "Thermal Enhancement".
The study is carrying out a survey of the Satellite Communication Ground Segment Industry including its market characteristics and value chains and looking in particular at the European and Canadian industry players, their competitive position and the issues affecting this.
The objective of this activity is to develop an Engineering Model (EM) of a high speed fibreoptic
transceiver for use on board telecom satellites consolidated through testing.
This project involves the analysis, design and manufacturing of a deployable gossamer sail for satellite de-orbiting. It will address the growing concern of orbital debris and space debris mitigation by providing a low-cost reliable solution to providers of future space equipment.
The goal of the MIMOSA project is to develop a propagation channel model including a software simulator implementation for satellite MIMO channels valid for L to C-bands taking satellite and polarisation diversity into account.
The project activity consists of developing a laboratory test-bed capable of emulating in real time a complete satcom system. The system implements the DVB-S2/RCS mobile specifications, applicable to both LOS and NLOS conditions and for both aggregate and not-aggregate types of traffic.
This project aims to provide a holistic assessment of the contribution of the Satcom industry to global sustainable development, considering economical, societal and environmental aspects.
