TLDR
In this article, a system for a satellite includes a core system and multiple nodes for generating an active phased array, each node includes a transceiver for wirelessly receiving a transmit signal from the core system, for transmitting the transmit signals to a target, for receiving the receive signals from the target, and for sending the receive signal back to the core.Abstract:
A system for a satellite includes a core system and multiple nodes for generating an active phased array. Each node includes a transceiver for wirelessly receiving a transmit signal from the core system, for wirelessly transmitting the transmit signals to a target, for wirelessly receiving the receive signals from the target, and for wirelessly transmitting the receive signal back to the core system. The system also includes a subsystem for inhibiting signal interference between the transmit and receive signals. Each of the nodes may also include local power generation circuitry.read more
