“…At the receiver, the detector's choice depends on various factors, including cost, power level, the wavelength range of the incident light, and the detector amplifier bandwidth. We refer the interested readers to [75]- [77] for a detailed overview of the types of photodetectors.…”

This paper surveys the literature on point-to-point (P2P) links for integrated satellite-aerial networks, which are envisioned to be among the key enablers of the sixth-generation (6G) of wireless networks vision. The paper first outlines the unique characteristics of such integrated large-scale complex networks, often denoted by spatial networks, and focuses on two particular space-air infrastructures, namely, satellites networks and high-altitude platforms (HAPs). The paper then classifies the connecting P2P communications links as satellite-to-satellite links at the same layer (SSLL), satellite-to-satellite links at different layers (SSLD), and HAP-to-HAP links (HHL). The paper surveys each layer of such spatial networks separately, and highlights the possible natures of the connecting links (i.e., radiofrequency or free-space optics) with a dedicated survey of the existing link-budget results. The paper, afterwards, presents the prospective merit of realizing such an integrated satellite-HAP network towards providing broadband services in under-served and remote areas. Finally, the paper sheds light on several future research directions in the context of spatial networks, namely large-scale network optimization, intelligent offloading, smart platforms, energy efficiency, multiple access schemes, distributed spatial networks, and routing. Index Terms-Integrated satellite-aerial networks, spatial networks, satellites, high-altitude platforms, broadband services.

“…DARPA then identified mmWave technology as the suitable solution for airborne communication. The results showed an outstanding performance achieving 100 Gbps under the atmospheric attenuation, and cumulus loss with less than 0.3 dB/km in the E-band (71)(72)(73)(74)(75)(76).…”

“…Since the aim is to fully exploit from The OWC system, d-LoS architecture is used for intra-CubeSat communication as shown in Fig 1. There are some preliminary works on OWC systems for intra-satellite communication applications using light emitting diodes (LEDs) [5][6][7][8]. Although, the studies indicate low bandwidth and high power, LEDs are not suitable for reaching higher bandwidth and low power consumption.…”

We theoretically and experimentally demonstrate a 100 Mb/s Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) system for 3U (30x30x30 centimeter) intra-CubeSat. The system has low power consumption and is made of low cost commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) components such as VCSEL, APD, Si-PD and common ball lenses. Since the system is for the 3U CubeSat, 40 cm distance between optical transceiver was targeted. We successfully designed the system and tested with 4 mm and 5 mm ball lenses to optimize our system for the future activities.

Using Light-Emitting Diodes for intersatellite links

Abstract: Abstract-We examine the utility of Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for short-range intersatellite links (ISLs), and compare and contrast LEDs with existing laser technologies used for long-distance ISLs. A hypothetical low-end LED ISL link is described, and applications are suggested.
