    Abstract: In the field of active phase-control antennas, a method is provided for calibrating the phase centre of an active antenna comprising a plurality of sub-elements able to receive a useful signal emitted by a satellite, said calibration being defined as a function of the reception characteristics of a reference signal at the level of each sub-element, said reference signal being emitted by the same satellite on a frequency band substantially equal to the frequency band of the useful signal and whose theoretical reception characteristics are known.

    Abstract: A method is provided for demodulating a signal carrying a message transmitted by a terrestrial beacon, executed by a system comprising a constellation of satellites suitable for detecting said signal and for repeating it towards receiving stations on the ground, and an analysis module suitable for receiving signals from said stations. Each receiving station transmits the signals that it receives from the satellite to the analysis module, said module realigning said signals in frequency and/or in time relative to one another, combining the realigned signals to generate a synthetic signal having an enhanced signal-to-noise ratio, and determining the content of said message and/or the modulation parameters of said synthetic signal. The method applies notably to the accurate and reliable location of distress beacons by a satellite system.
