Radio Frequency Payloads and Technology Division
Division is responsible for all those technologies and aspects which include:
RF payloads and technologies for space and ground applications and associated laboratory facilities.
More specifically Radio Frequency Payloads and Technology responsibilities encompass:
Main responsibilities
Main responsibilities
Payloads with RF interface for telecommunication and navigation exploiting different technologies (e.g. analogue, digital, optical) including design and performance analysis tools and testing
Earth observation and scientific RF active and passive instruments, including design and performance analysis, engineering and testing up to sub-millimetre waves
Wave-propagation and interaction relevant to space communications, navigation and remote sensing, including interference and regulatory aspects
The end-to-end performance assessment of RF and optical remote-sensing instrument concepts, including spurious effects mitigation and calibration techniques and the associated Level-1 and Level-2 data products and data processing techniques
Antenna systems, architecture, technologies and techniques for all space applications, including space vehicle TT&C and user-segment terminals, as well as antenna engineering and RF testing of antennas and materials
RF technologies and RF equipment, also including vacuum electronics and high-power RF phenomena (multipactor, corona and passive intermodulation)
RF digital equipment for telecommunication/navigation payloads and RF remote sensing instruments, and payload data processing algorithms and techniques for RF and optical instruments in close collaboration with the Data System & Microelectronic Division
Time and frequency references, modelling, design tools, measurements, performance characterisation and calibration techniques
