Perspectives for mobile satellite communications in Ka-band (MoSaKa)
Abstract
The German Heinrich Hertz mission signalises the growing interest in nomadic and mobile Ka-band satellite communications. The project MoSaKa addresses the ground segment required for such missions, in terms of bidirectional non-stationary communication links in a heterogeneous emergency network. Issues like terminal antennas, communication links and protocols, and a specific measurement testbed are addressed by an interdisciplinary consortium of electronic engineers and computer scientists.
