摘要:
A device (D) is dedicated to data stream processing within a communication satellite of a communication network. This device (D) comprises processing means (MT) whose job is, in the event of receipt of a first incoming data stream whose carrier exhibits a first modulation and comprising at chosen locations chosen insertion blocks, i) to detect the insertion blocks and at least one characteristic of the carrier of the first incoming stream, chosen from among its frequency, its phase, its timing and its amplitude, ii) to modulate, in accordance with the first modulation and having regard to each detected characteristic, data packets to be transmitted to a destination common with that of the first incoming stream, and iii) to replace with the modulated packets certain at least of the insertion blocks detected in the first incoming stream which has not been demodulated, so that the resulting stream is transmitted by the satellite, with its first original modulation, to the common destination so as to be demodulated therein as if it had been constituted by a single modulator.

A ground-based beam-forming system includes a satellite and a ground-based processing base equipped with beam-forming means. The satellite is equipped with first transmission/reception means for sending and receiving analog signals with remote terminals, and second transmission/reception means for sending and receiving signals with ground-based third transmission/reception means communicating with the processing base. The satellite includes digitizing means suitable for converting analog signals received by the first transmission/reception means into digital signals, the digitizing means being directly connected to the first transmission/reception means.

A distance measurement system for locating a geostationary satellite equipped with a transponder includes: a central station emitting a distance measurement signal; and at least one measurement station receiving the emitted signal, including means for measuring the time of arrival of the emitted signal, and transmitted via the transponder of the satellite. The central and measurement stations, of known positions, include synchronization means with a common time base. The transponder is that of a satellite telecommunications system, and has a bandwidth B. The central station includes means for emitting a specific distance measurement signal, distinct from the telecommunications signals transmitted via the transponder, with periodic events and with spread spectrum, the bandwidth of which is included in B.

A device (D) is dedicated to transmitting and/or receiving signals representative of data in a communication satellite (SAT) having a fixed frequency bandwidth. This device (D) comprises transmission and/or reception means (MER) responsible for sending and/or receiving signals in multiple beams, and control means (MC) responsible for defining a chosen number of cells of chosen dimensions and positions, and configuring the transmission and/or reception means (MER) so as to define beams each associated with at least one of the defined cells, with a chosen carrier frequency based on the requirements of each of the cells and taking into account the frequency bandwidth available on the satellite (SAT).
摘要:
The invention relates to a communications backbone interface between at least three members of a communications network for a space vehicle. In the invention, the interface combines various signals received at inlets, which signals may be analog, digital, and optical, coming from two members, and produces a multiplexed optical signal for delivery to a member of the vehicle, such as a piece of equipment. The invention also provides to a communications terminal interface, a communications network having such interfaces, and an optical fiber harness.

A resource manager for a satellite telecommunication system including user terminals sending data to spots via a satellite, all data streams from a given terminal to the same given destination spot constituting a virtual path comprising a set of uplinks from the terminal to the satellite and a set of downlinks from the satellite to the spot, includes a central entity associated with each satellite for receiving requests sent by the user terminals and each expressing a requirement to use resources of the satellite corresponding to the virtual path. The central entity groups the requests into request groups each associated with a set of uplinks from the same spot to the destination spot, the set of uplinks constituting a virtual link, and determines authorized resources for each request group.
