Method for emitting and receiving a radiofrequency signal in a satellite transmission system, corresponding emitter, characterization receiver and computer program

A characterization receiver of a radiofrequency signal, comprising:

• at least one processor operatively coupled to a memory, and configured to:
• transmit to an emitter, over a first transmission link between said characterization receiver and said emitter, at least one transmission command of at least one reference signal,
• receive said at least one reference signal, emitted by said emitter over a second transmission link between said emitter and said characterization receiver via a satellite, termed a received signal,
• estimate at least one distortion generated by said satellite, from said at least one reference signal, delivering at least one piece of information on compensation of distortions affecting the received signal based on the estimated distortion, and
• transmit to said emitter, over said first transmission link, said at least one piece of information on compensation of distortions.

An emitter of a radiofrequency signal comprising:

• at least one processor operatively coupled to a memory, and configured to:
• receive at least one transmission command of at least one reference signal, from a characterization receiver, over a first transmission link between said characterization receiver and said emitter,
• transmit said at least one reference signal, to said characterization receiver, over a second transmission link between said emitter and said characterization receiver via a satellite, and
• receive at least one piece of information on compensation of distortions affecting the signal received by the characterization receiver, from said characterization receiver, over said first transmission link, the at least one piece of information being based on an estimate, made by the characterization receiver from the at least one reference signal, of at least one distortion generated by the satellite.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon which when executed by a processor of a characterization receiver of a radiofrequency signal configure the characterization receiver to:

• transmit to an emitter, over a first transmission link between said characterization receiver and said emitter, at least one transmission command of at least one reference signal,
• receive said at least one reference signal, emitted by said emitter over a second transmission link between said emitter and said characterization receiver via a satellite, termed a received signal,
• estimate at least one distortion generated by said satellite, from said at least one reference signal, delivering at least one piece of information on compensation of distortions affecting the received signal based on the estimated distortion, and
• transmit to said emitter, over said first transmission link, said at least one piece of information on compensation of distortions.
