Abstract: The use of phased array antennas in ground based or low altitude user equipment linked to high altitude aerial platforms also utilizing sparse phased-array antennas (uniform and non-uniform), which enables the delivery of information services, including telecommunications, earth observation, astronomical and positioning services with higher data rates, lower weight, power consumption and sidelobe levels than for other antenna arrangements.

Abstract: A method for correcting frequency and/or phase in a communication link; a communication network; and a multiplexing and phase compensation unit are disclosed. The method for correcting frequency and/or phase in a communication link comprises receiving at least one reference transmission communicated via a wireless communication link; providing at least one identified characteristic by identifying at least one characteristic of the reference transmission; comparing said identified characteristic with at least one expected characteristic; and correcting a shift in frequency and/or phase of at least one communication signal communicated via the communication link based on a difference between the identified characteristic and the expected characteristic.
