Project description
Novel technology will boost the telecommunications satellites industry
The Earth is circled by an ever-increasing number of diverse satellites serving roles from Earth observation and geopositioning to telecommunications and security. Until recently, most telecommunications and broadcasting satellites were found in so-called geostationary orbits. They circled the globe at about 36 000 km above the surface and remained in a stationary position relative to the Earth as they circled it. Non-geostationary satellites and satellite constellations at lower altitudes are on the rise, making tracking more complicated and telecommunications more challenging. The EU-funded SATELLITE IA project is developing novel beamforming technology for ground antennae to support tracking and enhance the competitiveness of Europe in the booming telecommunications satellites industry.
Objective
The proliferation of LEO (Low Earth Orbit) and MEO (Medium Earth Orbit) satellite constellations is changing the requirements needed by satellites and antennas in order to support the bandwidth and beam agility to accommodate the much more challenging tracking requirements uniquely associated with NGSO (non-geostationary orbit) operations. The development of beamforming techniques beyond today’s state-of-the-art is an important demand in the telecommunications industry. WIMMIC is currently developing a novel beamforming system for the ground antenna market. We now want, through SME Innovation Associate programme, to implement our expertise in this area to develop a beamformer to be implemented in telecommunication satellites. This is an important business innovation opportunity as there are no similar products in the market yet. For this, we need and IA expert in space qualified processes.
