To overcome data rate limitations of RF communication links with satellites, TNO and DLR
envision optical free-space communication feeder links for next generation high throughput …

Optical feeders for geostationary High Throughput Satellites (HTS) systems based on 1.55
μm wavelength technology are expected to enable to transmit up to several terabits over one …

The paper deals with an analysis of very High Throughput Satellite (VHTS) systems
employing optical feeder links. To do so, a fixed set of user requirements is selected that …

As connectivity and data-rate demands continue to escalate, free-space optical
communication is recognised as one of the key enablers for the required progression …

Broadband communication using satellites requires use of the Ka band. Services of this type
are now emerging all over the world, some with capacities in excess of 100 Gbps. However …

To concurrently cope with the scarcity of RF frequency bands, the growing capacity demand
and the required lower cost of the ground segment, Very High Throughput Satellites systems …

The use of optical communication links is a growing and promising technology, with
applications spreading over many areas of telecommunication. This paper will present the …

High-data-rate ground-to-space optical links are envisioned to be an alternative and more
probably a next step to radio-frequency links, after the Q/V band still under development [1] …

In this paper, we present the performance analysis of a multibeam high throughput satellite
(HTS) system with optical feeder link. We consider the forward link, or downlink, with a fixed …

Optical feeder links (OFL) are expected to become part of future Very High Throughput
Satellite (VHTS) systems in response to the growing demand for higher capacity and lower …
