Problems solved by technology

Among them, microwave transparent forwarding uses traditional microwave technology to realize microwave frequency conversion and switching between receiving and transmitting beams, but the nonlinear distortion of broadband microwave frequency conversion leads to limited dynamic range and limited receiving and processing capabilities. Microwave switching must ensure electromagnetic compatibility and isolation Such performance needs to pay a large price of volume, weight and power consumption, which makes it difficult for microwave transparent forwarding technology to adapt to the requirements of communication satellites to develop larger communication bandwidth, larger switching scale, and higher communication capacity; digital transparent forwarding uses traditional microwave technology to realize
