摘要:
A linear technology radio for use in satellite communication is provided. The linear technology radio includes: a pre-amplifier to amplify a Local Oscillator (LO) reference signal; an intermediate frequency (IF) amplifier to amplify an IF signal; a frequency multiplier to multiply the LO reference signal; and a mixer to mix the amplified LO reference signal and the amplified IF signal to generate a Radio Frequency (RF) signal, wherein a frequency band of the IF signal is fixed, a frequency band of the LO reference signal is variable, and a highest frequency of the LO reference signal frequency band is less than a lowest frequency of the IF signal frequency band.
摘要:
A modem to interface with a constant envelope saturated and/or linear radio, the modem including: a synthesizer modulator configured to generate a reference signal; a prescaler configured to reduce the reference signal to a lower frequency signal; a switch configured to enable the prescaler; and an output configured to output the reference signal when the prescaler is disabled, and configured to output the lower frequency signal as the reference signal when the prescaler is enabled.

A communication system, an apparatus and a method for communicating with a radio disposed in an outdoor unit are provided. The apparatus including: a de-multiplexor configured to separate a multiplexed signal received on an inter-facility link (IFL) into a first signal; a demodulator configured to demodulate the first signal based-on a first modulator control information to obtain data; a modulator configured to modulate a portion of the data based-on a second modulator control information to generate a second signal; and an amplifier configured to amplify a transmission signal prior to transmission of the transmission signal with an antenna, wherein the transmission signal is based on the second signal, the second modulator control information is received by the de-multiplexor and the second modulator control information controls the modulation scheme used by the modulator.
摘要:
Systems and methods are provided for separating the uplink signal from the downlink signal in a satellite communication system. A communication terminal for satellite communications is provided, comprising a reflector having a prime focus; a first feed located at the prime focus of the reflector and in optical communication with the reflector; a frequency-selective surface module having a reflected focus and located at a point along a communication path between the main reflector and the first feed; and a second feed located at the reflected focus of the frequency- selective surface module and in optical communication with the frequency-selective surface module.
