Evolutions of EWC27 X-band transmitter for nanosatellites: − Higher data rates require either higher spectral efficiencies or larger bandwidths. 1. Higher order DVB-S2 modulation and coding schemes in X-band − Up to x4 data rate increase with higher MODCOD. − Higher data rate using the same bandwidth. 2. High data rate transmitter in Ka-band − More available bandwidth (x4), allows for higher data rates. − Higher data rates with limited waveform complexity. SYRLINKS – CNES Small Satellite Conference 2016 17 1 – Higher DVB-S2 MODCOD in X-band . Higher spectral efficiency: − Modulation and coding schemes under selection. EWC27 adaptation: − Analog and RF stages are already compatible. − Only FPGA SW development required. SYRLINKS – CNES Small Satellite Conference 2016 18 2 – High Data Rate Ka-band Transmitter .
