The promise of a new era in the space and satellite business – New Space, is not only based on disruptive technologies like on-board processing, digital beamforming antennas and networks of large satellite constellations. It also proposes shorter in-orbit lifecycles with a fast-paced, technological evolutions, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) satellite production and new application areas with innovative business models.
In the first Rohde & Schwarz event of Satellite Industry Day Series, we took a closer look at these technologies and discussed all the latest technological developments with industry experts.

White paper: Mastering the challenges of NewSpace satellite constellations
During the past few years satellite technology has taken a quantum leap forward and with NewSpace satellites wideband transmissions, digital signal processing, and active beamforming are becoming the norm.
This presentation focuses on Rohde & Schwarz satcom analysis and optimization software solution, suited for all aspects of modern satellite communications. Supporting also major parts of the satcom value chain such as satellite communication system design, transmission planning and transponder usage optimization. Including models for weather conditions, atmosphere effects and all RF transmission impairments of transparent payloads among all satcom bands of interest (C, X, Ku, Ka band etc.).

In recent years, constellations of satellites are being proposed in large numbers; most of them are expected to be in orbit within the next decade. To give a perspective, while prior to 2021, less than 100 satellites were launched into LEO, this number has quadrupled in the last 5 years and is expected to reach several thousand within the next 10 years.
In the presentation, we took a look at the new breed of small satellites and their technical requirements, discussed trends in the way of developing and producing these satellites on an industrial scale and shared best practices and insights on validating the performance and reliability of them.

Future satellite communication networks, let it be satellite mega-constellation, very high throughput satellites or non-terrestrial networks as part of terrestrial mobile communication networks, pose considerable challenges to the technology. Active phased array antennas will be key in making all the systems working. In this presentation we took a closer look at how active phased array antennas can fulfill the tasks of today’s and future communication networks, and what test solutions are proposed to assure best performance for characterizing active PAA.
