W‐band physical layer design issues in the context of the DAVID–DCE experiment

This paper aims at focusing on the aspects concerning the physical layer design for an innovative satellite communication experiment. Such an experiment, denoted by the acronym DAVID–DCE (Data and Video Interactive Distribution—Data Collection Experiment) is based on the exploitation of the W‐band (75–110 GHz) for high‐bit‐rate satellite transmission. The potential advantages of using of the W‐band are mainly related to the great bandwidth availability, and to the absence of interference. Moreover, an expected result of the experiment is a substantive improvement in the communication system's performances in the presence of meteorological phenomena (e.g. rain) as compared with the more conventional Ka‐band satellite transmission. On the other hand, problems to be faced concern the non‐ideal behaviours of hardware devices employed for high‐frequency digital transmission. In particular, carrier recovery and timing recovery are the most crucial signal‐processing tasks to be carefully considered in the design of the physical level of the system, because they considerably suffer from hardware impairments. The purpose of this work is to illustrate the proposed solutions in terms of the most critical modulation, demodulation and synchronization design issues, together with the effects of non‐ideal behaviours of hardware components on BER performances.

Optoelectronics in satellite designs

Design of artificial satellites for communication, remote sensing and scientific investigations follows, at present, a fixed pattern based on existing and proven technologies and the requirements of payload or experiment within the constraints of weight, volume and power available. The advances in optoelectronic components and systems have opened up a new dimension in designing satellites of the future, incorporating new technologies. This paper deals with general satellite design concepts based on optoelectronic systems wherever applicable.

卫星编队飞行中的队形设计研究

目前关于卫星编队飞行的研究有显著的增加。多颗从属卫星(从星)在近距离内与主卫星(主星)组成特定的队形以完成相应的任务,是卫星编队飞行的特点及潜在优势。卫星在编队飞行时,其队形定义为以各颗卫星质心为顶点所构成的几何形状,而队形设计则是根据队形的几何形状求出各卫星的轨道根数(其中主星的轨道根数可以根据任务的要求事先确定)。基于相对轨道根数法,根据卫星相对运动方程,提出了“自然队形”的概念及队形设计的一般方法,并给出了具体的例子。

Performance of a turbo‐coded CDMA system in a mobile satellite channel

The bit error rate (BER) performance of a turbo‐coded code‐division multiple‐access (CDMA) system operating in a satellite channel is analysed and simulated. The system performance is compared for various constituent decoders, including maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) and Max‐Log‐MAP algorithms, and the soft‐output Viterbi algorithm. The simulation results indicate that the Max‐Log‐MAP algorithm is the most promising among these three algorithms in overall terms of performance and complexity. It is also shown that, for fixed code rate, the BER performance is improved substantially by increasing the number of iterations in the turbo decoder, or by increasing the interleaver length in the turbo encoder. The results in this paper are of interest in CDMA‐based satellite communications applications. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
