A flexible LEO satellite modem with Ka‐band RF frontend for a data relay satellite system

Abstract: Summary From a geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) satellite's perspective, a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite is visible on more than half of its orbit. Albeit the free‐space loss of an inter‐satellite link is much higher than the one of a direct ground link, considerable data rates and download volumes can be achieved. In this paper, we describe the system architecture of an integrated approach for a data relay satellite system and the development of LEO satellite and ground station modems. The approach allows se… Show more

“…The Ka-band modem employs channel-efficient ACM with LDPC codes for error correction. Multi-frequency time-division multiple access (MF-TDMA) and multiplexing schemes are employed in the system [57]. The building blocks of the GeReLEO concept are LEO satellites equipped with a GeReLEO modem, a GeReLEO gateway, a GeReLEO network control center, and a data relay payload on-board a GEO satellite [57].…”

“…These satellites are at shorter distances from Earth, so they have higher signal strength and lower latency [6,7]. However, unlike the Geosynchronous-Equatorial-Orbit (GEO) satellite, which alone covers the entire surface of the earth, several LEO satellites are required for this purpose [8].…”
