Sistema de transmissão e receção de sinal de orientação eletrónica para a próxima geração de constelações de satélites (LEO e MEO).

The STRx project proposes to research and develop an electronically guided signal transmission and reception system to function with the next generation of non-stationary orbit satellites. It will initially target the business and terrestrial mobility sectors and subsequently the domestic sector, where implementation and operation of the fixed infrastructure is not feasible, once the cost structure has been optimized. The consortium promoter, constituted by Sinuta, Instituto de Telecomunicações, and INESC TEC, encompass/have an important skill set for the technical-scientific challenges of the project, in the fields of electronic, signal processing, computer programming, and radio frequency elecommunications. The innovative approach of the project is clearly visible in 4 points: Integration of emerging technologies (MMIC) to this application; dynamic adaptation of ?beamforming?; radiation pattern synthesis method; beam range scanning of elemental antennas. Objectively, the results of STRx project will enable a low-cost and high data transfer system of electronically guided antennas, to operate with non-stationary orbit satellites, filling the gap in t.
