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，在卫星平台和地面通信基础设施之间建立高数据速率网关链路，从而优化未来不同类型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、大气传播以及数字信道建模和特性方面的专门知识。ESA的TDP#5任务证明了新兴情景喜剧系统中对新的毫米波频段的迫切优先考虑，该任务涉及Alphasat卫星上的Q波段(38 GHz)信标，这提供了一个独特的机会来实验表征该频率下的大气衰落。我们世界领先的财团有权独家访问英国的所有三个接收地面站执行此次任务，以及独家访问气象(包括。雨量雷达)和辐射测量数据，对项目零成本。

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.
