Optical feeder link architectures for very HTS: issues and possibilities
2019
International Conference on Space Optics — ICSO 2018
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 allows for different optical feeder link options to be compared and evaluated on a common basis. The main system aspects are discussed and a rough assessment of the payload resources in terms of mass, power and dissipated power required for each is provided. This exercise reveals important trade-offs and new research avenues for the optical communications community.
