  • Resolving Interference Issues at Satellite Ground Stations
    Application Note Resolving Interference Issues at Satellite Ground Stations Introduction RF interference represents the single largest impact to robust satellite operation performance. Interference issues result in significant costs for the satellite operator due to loss of income when the signal is interrupted. Additional costs are also encountered to debug and fix communications problems. These issues also exert a price in terms of reputation for the satellite operator. According to an earlier survey by the Satellite Interference Reduction Group (SIRG), 93% of satellite operator respondents suffer from satellite interference at least once a year. More than half experience interference at least once per month, while 17% see interference continuously in their day-to-day operations. Over 500 satellite operators responded to this survey. Satellite Communications Overview Satellite earth stations form the ground segment of satellite communications. They contain one or more satellite antennas tuned to various frequency bands. Satellites are used for telephony, data, backhaul, broadcast, community antenna television (CATV), internet, and other services. Depending on the application, each satellite system may be receive only or constructed for both transmit and receive operations. A typical earth station is shown in figure 1. Figure 1. Satellite Earth Station Each satellite antenna system is composed of the antenna itself (parabola dish) along with various RF components for signal processing. The RF components comprise the satellite feed system. The feed system receives/transmits the signal from the dish to a horn antenna located on the feed network. The location of the receiver feed system can be seen in figure 2. The satellite signal is reflected from the parabolic surface and concentrated at the focus position.

  • Base Station Architecture Supporting On-Air Frequency Multiplexing
    Base station architecture supporting on-air frequency multiplexing Multi-channel digital TV and audio broadcasting systems (including SFN). Gained effect: The general system cost decrease, reliability increase and high noise immunity achievement. Group and single-channel transmitters. In modern digital TV broadcasting systems a transmitting over 100 TV programs is supposed. Most often used broadcast standards are DVB-T, DVB-C and DVB-S/S2. For multi-channel signals transmitting group transmitters which will convert generated on IF multi-channel digital signal to a radio frequency group signal and gain it on power for transmitting on-air through single omni-directional antenna or the sector antenna if radiation is made in a zone limited to some sector can be used. Much more attractive from the view point of a group signal formation convenience the method of its formation on intermediate frequency with the subsequent group spectrum conversion to a working radio frequencies range is represented. The method alternative to the given, is single-channel transmitters application, each of which will convert and gain generated on IF the separate channel signal. The signals received from N single-channel transmitters multiplexing on a radio frequency are carried out by means of the special multiplexer consisting from N channel BPF (bandpass filters) and the same number ferrite circulators (Fig. 1). Let's notice that both methods assume channels frequency multiplexing at physical level (PHY). Fig.1 Radio frequency multiplexor Let's consider the presented multiplexing methods merits and demerits from the view point of broadcasting complexes complexity and cost. For this purpose at first we will analyse the system consisting of the group transmitter and the omni- directional antenna.

  • 04-Gareth-Lloyd---Rohde-And-Schwarz
    LINEARIZATION OF RF FRONT ENDS Gareth LLOYD1 1 Rohde & Schwarz GmbH & Co. KG, Mühldorfstrasse 15, 81671, München, Germany Linearization, as a concept for improving signal integrity in radios, has been around for the best part of 100 years (at least dating back to Black's Feedforward patent, filed in 1920’s). A golden period of innovation followed for 80 years, until the turn of the century, when the now quasi- ubiquitous DPD (digital pre-distortion) became the architecture of choice. DPD has been widely adopted, no more so than in Mobile Communications – initially in infrastructure, more recently in mobile devices. The advent of 5G, with mm-/u-Wave implementations potentially enables alternative techniques. This paper provides a review of the subject matter, including; a linearization classification system, an overview of the limits and goals of linearization and a measurement example. ARMMS April 2017 | Gareth LLOYD page 1 Background The RFFE The RFFE (Radio or RF Frontend) is a PHY-layer concept (Figure 1). In the transmitter, the RFFE is responsible for conditioning (e.g. modulating, frequency shifting, filtering, amplifying) wanted data onto a carrier, suitable for transmission across a medium. In the receiver, the reverse operation. The RFFE, comprises a number of functional blocks, e.g. DAC/ADC, modulators, mixers, filters and amplifiers. The RFFE might be built with varying degrees of integration; monolithic, multi- chip module, or completely from discrete components. Figure 1 - Simplified architecture of transmit/receive frontend. This conditioning process, performed by the functional blocks, introduces errors; e.g. distortions and noise. Important macro parameters for the RFFE include operating power, efficiency, linearity and bandwidth.

  • Gan Empowers Communication
    industry communications GaN empowers satellite communication GaN enables powerful, compact transmitters for demanding satellite communications BY MIKE COFFEY, STEVE RICHESON AND MICHAEL DELISIO FROM MISSION MICROWAVE 34 WWW.COMPOUNDSEMICONDUCTOR.NET l OCTOBER 2018 l COPYRIGHT COMPOUND SEMICONDUCTOR Mission MIcrowave v4RS 5MG.indd 34 26/09/2018 14:10 industry communications THROUGHOUT the history of radio communications engineers have craved more transmit power. This statement is as true today as it was in Marconi’s lifetime. One sector where there is a particularly strong desire for higher transmit power is satellite communications. Here high-power amplifiers and block upconverters have to generate signals that are powerful enough to offset path loss and spreading. In a traditional satellite communication link (see Figure 1), microwave- frequency radio signals are transmitted from a point on earth to a distant satellite in a geostationary orbit that is 35,000 km away – that’s a distance of almost six times the earth’s radius. The most common frequency domains for the satellite communications uplink are X-band (7.9-8.4 GHz), Ku-band (13.75-14.5 GHz), and Ka-band (29-31 GHz). Transmitter output power at these frequencies needs to be high, because satellites receive only a miniscule fraction of the power transmitted in their direction. Typically, a communications satellite may receive just a few picowatts of power from an earthbound transmitter that broadcasts tens of watts. A weak signal reaching the satellite’s receiver is not the only issue, however. That signal is coming from a single spot on the surface of the earth that could be masked by the background noise from our warm blue planet, alongside plenty of other potentially inferring signals.
