Optimising resources in future heterogeneous millimetre wave communication systems

该项目的愿景是通过加快部署新的和更高的毫米波频段，为卫星平台和地面通信基础设施之间的高数据速率网关链路，优化未来异构无线通信系统中空间资源的开发。这将通过一项开创性的研究来实现，该研究汇集了无线和卫星通信系统、毫米波电子和天线、大气传播和数字信道建模和表征方面的专业知识。ESA的TDP#5任务在ALPHASAT卫星上安装了一个q波段（38 GHz）信标，这为在这个频率上实验表征大气衰落提供了一个独特的机会，证明了在新兴情景喜剧系统中使用新的毫米波波段的紧迫性。我们的世界领先的财团独家访问所有三个位于英国的接收地面站，以及独家访问气象（包括降雨雷达）和辐射测量数据，以零成本的项目。

The vision of this project is to optimise the exploitation of space borne resources in future heterogeneous wireless comms systems by accelerating the deployment of new and higher mm-wave frequency bands for high data rate gateway links between satellite platforms and the terrestrial communication infrastructure. This will be achieved by virtue of a pioneering study that brings together expertise on wireless and satellite communication systems, mm-wave electronics and antennas, atmospheric propagation and digital channel modelling and characterisation. The urgent priority for new mm-wave bands in emerging sitcom systems is evidenced by ESA's TDP#5 mission involving a Q-band (38 GHz) beacon on board the ALPHASAT satellite, which provides a unique opportunity to experimentally characterise atmospheric fading at this frequency. Our world-leading consortium has exclusive access to all three UK-based receive ground stations for this mission as well as exclusive access to meteorological (incl. rain radar) and radiometric data at zero cost to the project.
