    摘要: A wireless communication system includes frequency reuse between terminals in common coverage regions using a multiple satellite architecture with spatial diversity. Different terminals may be associated with different ones of the satellites such that a common frequency can be reused by the different terminals. A gateway may communicate with a first satellite using a feeder beam having an overlapping geographic coverage region with a user beam used for communication between a set of user terminals and a second satellite. Spatial diversity is provided between the satellites, and the feeder beam and the user beam operate at common frequencies within the overlapping coverage region. In this manner, the bandwidth of both satellites at the common coverage region is used to increase the available capacity.

    摘要: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for determining beamforming coefficients. In one aspect, a subsystem of a satellite can receive livetraffic signals and tap the signals to provide reference signals. The reference signals can be provided on a calibration path including passive components. The signals can be compared with the reference signals to determine differences between the phases and amplitudes and used to determine beamforming coefficients.

    摘要: A power combining arrangement includes an input divider waveguide and an output combiner waveguide, and a first and second amplifier. The power combining arrangement is configured to amplify RF energy having a characteristic wavelength λ. The first amplifier has a first input electrically coupled with a first output port of the divider waveguide. The second amplifier has a second input electrically coupled with a second output port of the divider waveguide. The first and second output ports are separated by a first distance corresponding to a phase delay 01; the first distance being selected substantially independently of the characteristic wavelength. The first amplifier has a first output electrically coupled with a first input port of the combiner waveguide and the second amplifier has a second output electrically coupled with a second input port of the combiner waveguide. The first and second input ports are separated by the first distance.

    摘要: A spacecraft with a linear extension boom, an antenna feed, and a rigid antenna reflector is provided. The rigid antenna reflector may be connected with one end of the linear extension boom, and the other end of the linear extension boom may be connected with the spacecraft main body. In a launch configuration of the spacecraft, the linear extension boom may be retracted into a stowed configuration, and in an on-orbit configuration of the spacecraft, the linear extension boom may be extended into a deployed configuration, thereby moving the rigid antenna reflector away from the yaw axis of the spacecraft and positioning the rigid antenna reflector such that the focal point of the rigid antenna reflector may be oriented to align on, and be collocated with, the antenna feed. The rigid antenna reflector may be connected with the linear extension boom by a positioning mechanism that provides for adjustment in the angular orientation of the rigid antenna reflector relative to the linear extension boom.
