TRP Work Plan 2005-2007 Description of Activities TEC-SB/7935/dc 12/Feb/09 TRP Reference: Title: T501-06ET High Frequency SIGE MMICS for Converter The objective of the activity is the design, manufacturing and test of high frequency SiGe MMICs to be used in the next LO generation and up and downconverter units both for on board and user terminal applications. SiGe permits the implementation of very low cost mixed analogue/digital circuits that can significantly reduce manufacturing costs of LO generation modules, frequency synthesizers and up and downconverter units. Low phase noise is another characteristics of SiGe HBT technology. On the user terminal area, there is a strong push towards extremely low recurrent costs. Frequency synthesizer has been identified as one of the cost drivers and SiGe technology has potential for significant cost reduction Deliverables: High Frequency SiGe HBT MMICs to be used as building blocks on future LO generation and frequency converter units both for on board and user terminal applications.

However, very little is know about the reliability (failure and degradation mechanisms, ..) of such switches, specially when it comes to few cycles with may years between ON and OFF actuations, as for redundancy switches on board satellites. The aim of this activity is to design and realise a high frequency (up to a least Ka-band) low power redundancy switch, based on MEMS technology, with proven reliability i.e. including investigation and analysis of failure/degradation mechanisms. Deliverables: Demonstrator of MEMS redundancy switch. Identification and analysis of failure/degradation mechanisms.

Based on these analyses, detailed design and definition shall be performed leading to BFN (Beam Forming Network) architecture, mass and technological constraints identification as well as performance achievable for the selected implementation.This study will cover all architectural trade-offs, the concept selection and a detailed design. Breadboarding activities will allow demonstrating the feasibility and performances of this innovative concept. Deliverables: Performances analysis of different arrays configurations.

TRP Work Plan 2005-2007 Description of Activities TEC-SB/7935/dc 12/Feb/09 TRP Reference: Title: T501-10ET High throughput highly re-configurable bent-pipe processor for access networks The proposed activity aims at the design, implementation and validation of the Proof of Concept (PoC) of a high throughput highly re-configurable and scalable digital processor for future bent-pipe satellite broadband access networks that meets these new challenging requirements in terms of flexibility and processed bandwidth (expected to be up to 50 GHz). The prototype shall demonstrate all the key functionalities of the processor (e.g. high bandwidth signal processing algorithms, channel to beam allocation flexibility, wideband digital beam forming, etc.) and assess in detail the use of cutting-edge digital technologies (e.g. 0.13 micro-m, new low power consumption ADC/DAC) needed for achieving efficient processing of the large bandwidths involved within the next generation of communication systems. For budgetary reasons the PoC will make extensive use of FPGA technology. The prototype shall be implemented at a laboratory breadboard level and is expected to work at reduced scale in terms of processed bandwidth per beam and be scaled-down in terms implemented links. The PoC shall allow a thoroughly validation of the proposed architecture, signal processing algorithms and achievement of the performance requirements. Power and mass estimate for the final target technology shall be however performed. A real-time air interface simulator shall be developed for both up and downlink in order to provide the processor with the required IF and control signals. The simulator shall cover functions such as interference and propagation effects, satellite delays, network synchronization mechanisms, payload impairments, packet demodulation, background signalling loading of the switch controller, etc. Deliverables: Processor Detailed Design Report PoC of a scaled-down version of the High Throughput Transparent Processor. Current TRL: TRL1 Target TRL: TRL3 Application Need/Date: TRL5 by 2009 Application/Mission: Telecom Contract Duration: 18 months SW Clause : - Dossier0 Ref.: T-7931 Consistency with Harmonisation Roadmap and Conclusions: TRP Reference: T501-11EE Title: New concepts for dual-gridded reflectors (study) Dual-gridded reflector antennas allow the combination of two apertures in almost the same room that would be occupied by only one normal reflector. This is achieved by using polarisation sensitive grids printed on the reflector surfaces. This concept is extremely important due to the accommodation constraints of the platforms and lead to very high polarisation purity. Ku-band dual-gridded reflectors are widely used today on commercial satellites. This activity deals with the study of possible technological implementations of dual-gridded reflectors for telecommunications applications in Ka-band. New concept and materials are mandatory due to high transmission losses of the front shell (approximately 0.8 dB) when Ku-band technology is considered for Ka-band. It is proposed to follow this preliminary design activity by an ARTES-funded demonstration phase. Deliverables: Design of dual-gridded reflector antenna at Ka-band. RF and mechanical samples to be used as proof of concept.
