Direct antenna-to-radio coupling cuts RF cable loss and amplifier burden, enabling a lighter portable troposcatter terminal.
Dual-polarized antennas and phase shifting capture reflected wireless signals through ducts and other reflective paths without extra base stations.
Placing two signals at controlled frequency offsets lets RF receivers use lower-Q filters and IF filtering to suppress interference with less power.
Interleaving spot beams from multiple satellites boosts frequency reuse capacity while limiting adjacent-beam interference and satellite size.
Interleaving spot-beam frequency reuse across multiple satellites raises capacity density while limiting antenna count, weight, and interference.
Interleaving frequency reuse plans across multiple satellites boosts spot-beam capacity density without adding antenna count, mass, or complexity.
A multi-phase oscillator and time-slot multiplexer create a non-integral LO frequency to block harmonic pulling and improve signal quality.
Dynamic switching between passive and active antenna tuning extends band coverage while limiting RF mixing and intermodulation.
