Title: Rf Wireless Intra-Spacecraft Communications - Phase 1<br />
RF wireless techniques are being considered for on board short-range communications in view of the potential mass and<br />
power re<strong>du</strong>ction and for the added benefit of increasing functionality and flexibility in S/C design, construction and testing.<br />
From recent years, RF wireless systems have known a great development in in<strong>du</strong>strial, offices and home applications and<br />
offer a wide spectrum of mature pro<strong>du</strong>cts. The availability of high performance consumer-markets components make today<br />
RF an attractive approach for low mass on board-space communications for applications providing that EMC/EMI issues are<br />
adequately addressed at system level and shall be thoroughly investigated. This investigation will consider the space<br />
environmental aspects, in particular radiation, the spacecraft internal environment (in particular EMC/EMI) as well as the<br />
functional and operational aspects as a part of the on board data handling system (control and monitoring telecommand<br />
distribution/telemetry acquisition functions).<br />
The proposed activity deals with the use of optical wireless techniques for on board communications, and in particular will<br />
cover the following technology areas:<br />
• Functional and performance specifications for on board RF wireless communications for control, monitoring, command<br />
distribution and telemetry acquisition as part of the Spacecraft avionics for a set of typical mission scenarios (platform type,<br />
mission profile, orbit) and in line with relevant CCSDS standards<br />
• Identification of the most suitable system configuration and architecture for selected applications/scenarios<br />
• Identification and selection of commercial/in<strong>du</strong>strial RF wireless communications systems (protocols, components)<br />
• Performance/reliability assessment of technology, components and devices<br />
• Assessment of Qualification for components and devices<br />
• Evaluation and characterization of electronics equipment/component and their interfaces<br />
• Selection of a Test application case from the preliminary set of applications scenarios to be used as System demonstrator<br />
• Definition of a Flight Test Demonstration based on the above<br />
• Preliminary design of the RF wireless communication system<br />
• Critical component and subassembly design and developments including mixed digital-analog Asics<br />
• Development of Software tools for system analysis optimisation and computer aided design (link budget…)<br />
• Development of communication protocol and interface layers for selected configurations, operation and test environment<br />
software<br />
• Integration and Test of the Elegant bread-board of a complete RF wireless systems for the selected applications<br />
• Consolidated technology road map and proposal for a flight demonstration based on the demonstration system.<br />
