Measurement techniques for NewSpace satellites and terminals

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.

Successful planning and technical verification of NewSpace constellations and their respective user terminals require the best software tools and the most modern measurement equipment. In this white paper, we take a close look at key technologies and how to test them:

  • system verification measurements and characterization of active phased array antennas, digital transparent processors (DTP) and regenerative payloads
  • over-the-air (OTA) measurements in frequency spectrum up to Q- and V bands and sometimes even beyond
  • satellite link planning and for large LEO satellite constellations
