Webinar: Active Multi-Beam Antennas: Testing the Drivers for Advanced Satellite Concepts
March 25, 2021- All About Circuits – 128 words
 
Webinar Overview
The satcom industry's trends are largely driven by several key goals: high-throughput satellites (HTS) answer changing markets and user demands with enhanced throughput and a broad bandwidth, while mega-constellations are proposed and developed with the aim of providing truly global internet access and communication services to everyone around the world. Phased array antennas are critical in the development and implementation of both HTS and mega-constellations.
 
In this webinar from Rohde and Schwarz, viewers will first learn about the latest satcom industry trends as related to HTS and mega-constellations. The webinar then covers the principles, capabilities, and challenges related to phased array antennas in these particular applications, and, finally, the viewer will come to understand the test solutions and various turn-key solutions offered by Rohde & Schwarz.
