Large Scale Optical Assisted Mm-Wave Beam-Hopping System for Multi-Hop Bent-Pipe LEO Satellite Networks

By introducing the arrayed waveguide router (AWGR) optical true time-delay (OTTD) architecture in bent-pipe satellite optical inter-link to optically assist the RF phased array in Low-earth orbit satellites will extend the multi-hop bent-pipe satellite beam-hopping protocol proposed in DVB-S2X. It s...
