A Lockheed Martin team has successfully completed a key design revue of the Transformational Satellite Communications System (TSAT) Space Segment, signaling the team’s readiness to proceed with the next development phase of the program. TSAT will provide thousands of users with wideband, highly mobile, beyond line-of-sight protected communications to...

Intelsat General Corp. announced that it has been selected for an industry-government collaboration to demonstrate the viability of conducting military communications through an Internet router in space. The Department of Defense project to test Internet routing in space (IRIS) will be managed by Intelsat General and the payload will...

To produce more circuit functionality, leading-edge designs rely on high-speed devices, using the latest IC process nodes and advanced package technologies. As the complexity of these electronic products intensifies, constraining EM emissions within dense printed circuit boards (PCB), IC packages and even the IC itself requires careful engineering. With...

Nowadays, the information society is rapidly changing. Mobile communications and their technologies are increasingly parts of our daily lives. Mobile communications devices are becoming smaller in order to afford efficient mobility. Antennas, which are used to transmit and receive signals, are also increasingly required to become smaller and lightweight,...

As the frequency band for wireless communication shifts higher and higher, the generation of power efficient, low phase noise, broadband and configurable compact signal sources (oscillators) with low cost has become more and more challenging, due to the frequency limitations of the devices (transistors). The performance of communication systems...

Advanced Modeling in Computational Electromagnetic Compatibility Dragan Poljak Wiley Interscience • 514 pages; $125 ISBN-13: 978-0-470-03665-5 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the applied discipline within the science of electromagnetism including almost all relevant areas of theoretical (computational) and experimental electromagnetics. Theoretical methods in electromagnetics can be classified as analytical or...

The technique of directing an antenna electronically rather than mechanically has been used for quite a number of years in the military domain and more recently for space applications. The numerous advantages of this technique, including lack of mechanical parts, small sized and lightweight antennas, fast positioning, beam agility,...
