In the last decade, the satellite communications (SATCOM) market has redefined the opportunity and the differentiator for this segment. Early business models that relied on providing voice services to the most remote areas of the globe have evolved to demonstrate how SATCOM can play a significant role in augmenting and improving terrestrial network connectivity. Component and system suppliers are excited because market research firms estimate the opportunity to be $50 to $70 billion by 2032. Including service revenue from applications that SATCOM capabilities will enable pushes these market opportunities to $200 billion in 2032, with the CAGR expected to be around 10 percent. With the “direct-to-device” opportunity of connecting cellular devices directly to satellites just emerging, there is a tremendous upside to these forecasts.
The articles in this eBook give the reader a good understanding of the fundamentals and challenges of a satellite network, along with how the solutions will influence trends and opportunities. Electronically scanned phased array antennas are the foundation for NTN capabilities. Several of the articles address that application, along with system architectures and how to reduce component and system costs. Recognizing that SATCOM systems are trending higher in frequency, one of the articles addresses PCB design and development challenges and the best solutions for high-performance, low-cost millimeter wave circuits.
