摘要： A multichannel transmission system which includes a calibration functionality that allows precise calibration of the frequency conversion chains and of the multiport amplifier of the system to be performed without interruption of service. The proposed calibration makes it possible to correct the defects over the entire frequency band of the system.

摘要： A method for protecting a reconfigurable digital integrated circuit includes multiple parallel processing channels each comprising an instance of a functional logic block and an error detection unit, the method comprising the successive steps of: activating the error detection unit in order to detect an error in at least one processing channel, executing the data replay mechanism, and then activating the error detection unit in order to detect an error in at least one processing channel, if an error is detected again, executing a self-test on each processing channel, for each processing channel, if the self-test does not detect any error, executing the data replay mechanism for this processing channel, if the self-test detects an error, reconfiguring that part of the configuration memory associated with this processing channel.

摘要： A system for estimating a pointing error of an antenna (ANT) of a satellite, the satellite includes a payload (CU) comprising a multichannel transmitter or receiver comprising a multichannel antenna (ANT), one analogue processing chain per channel and a set of digital integrated circuits (PN), the system comprising an estimation device (EST), implemented aboard the satellite or in a ground station, for estimating a pointing error of the antenna, the device for estimating a pointing error being configured to: acquire, for at least two channels of the transmitter or of the receiver, at least two test signals, each test signal having been transmitted or received by the antenna along a different direction (θA, θB), for at least one pair of acquired test signals, determine, for each test signal, a relative complex gain between the test signal received or transmitted respectively on two distinct channels, determine a comparative measurement between the two test signals from either the ratio between the two relative complex gains and/or the difference between the phases of the two relative complex gains, determine a pointing error (dθ) of the antenna on the basis of the comparative measurement, of the expected directions of transmission or of reception of the test signals (θA, θB) and of a model of the gain of the antenna for each channel and in a plurality of directions.
