A microwave active filter for nanosatellite’s receiver front-ends at s-bands

Abstract

In satellite technology, the communication between space segment and ground segment plays a vital role in the success of the mission. This paper is targeted at study, design and fabrication of a microwave active filter for the receiver front-ends using coupled line filter structure, which can be applied to the nanosatellite's communication subsystem. The whole active filter module is a combination of a microstrip bandpass filter and a preceding twostage wideband low noise amplifier using FET devices. The proposed module operates in the frequency range of 2 -2.4 GHz, which can be divided to 10 frequency slots of about 40 MHz for each. These frequency slots will be used for the S-band multi-frequency receiving function of the ground station, as well as the nanosatellite. The simulated and measured results of this active filter configuration are presented.

Compact 3D monolithic microwave integrated circuit bandpass filter based on meander resonator for 5G millimeter-wave

“…However, the bandpass filters for frequencies above 20 GHz are challenging to realize due to the self-resonance of the lumped-elements and the availability of transistors [11]. The distributed elements are utilized for high frequency circuit design, including for various resonators such as stepped impedance resonators, open-loop resonators, and coupled-line resonators [12]- [15]. Another type of resonator was also applied to realization different application of bandpass filter, such as T-shape resonator for dual-band bandpass filter, stub resonator for ultrawideband bandpass filter, and stub loader for broadband filter with multifrequency suppression capability [16]- [18].…”

Single event latch-up detection for nano-satellite external solar radiation mitigation system

“…So, the detection of SEL must be detected faster before its occurrence to avoid the harm to the other components. The SEL can take place in split second at any time at certain temperature [25,26] especially in space. The mitigation of the SEL must be there as well so that the device can operate normally and continue with the main missions without any trouble.…”

An implementation of optimal control methods (LQI, LQG, LTR) for geostationary satellite attitude control

“…The attitude control of geostationary spacecrafts [1][2][3][4], has important applications for telecommunication space missions such as pointing and for motion flying, the Attitude Determination and Control Subsystem (ADCS) provides attitude information and maintains the required spacecraft attitude during all phases of the mission, starting at spacecraft separation from the launch vehicle and throughout its operational lifetime [5][6][7][8].The selection of an ADCS is a function of many factors, Including mission objectives, satellite design, distributions torques, design constraints and stabilization required. Several control methods have been developed over the past years since the first satellite was launched.…”
