Abstract
In some embodiments, a communications system can include a plurality of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites deployed at different altitudes and configured to communicate with one or more terrestrial devices and with one another. The communications system may further include a plurality of geosynchronous (GEO) satellites deployed above the plurality of LEO satellites. The plurality of LEO satellites may cooperate with one another and with the plurality of GEO satellites to provide a global communication network having redundant point-to-point communication.
Claims20
A satellite system comprising a plurality of satellites, individual ones of the plurality of satellites further comprising one or more phased array antennas communicatively coupled by a plurality of electrical interconnects, the one or more phased array antennas including a plurality of tiles, wherein one or more of the plurality of tiles is connected to one or more neighboring tiles by one or more articulating joints, each tile including circuitry including an embedded processing circuit to provide channelization and packet processing functionality.
A method comprising:
- providing one or more phased array antennas communicatively coupled by a plurality of electrical interconnects, the one or more phased array antennas including a plurality of tiles, wherein one or more of the plurality of tiles is connected to one or more neighboring tiles by one or more articulating joints, each tile including circuitry including an embedded processing circuit, and
- providing, via the embedded processing circuit, channelization and packet processing functionality to each tile.
One or more phased array antennas comprising a plurality of tiles, wherein one or more of the plurality of tiles is connected to one or more neighboring tiles by one or more articulating joints, each tile including circuitry including an embedded processing circuit to provide channelization and packet processing functionality.
