This circumstance has stimulated debate within the academic, research and applicational communities concerning the role, if any, of analysis for dealing with complexity. If there is such a role, it must be toward furnishing physical insight into the wave phenomena, i.e. the \"observables\", which produce the numerically calculated signal. Some suggestions are made toward classifying complexity according to different scales in the configurational and spectral (i.e. phase space) domains. This requires intimate coupling of propagation phenomena and signal processing. As yet, there are more questions than answers, both technically and philosophically.","PeriodicalId":248044,"journal":{"name":"1990 20th European Microwave Conference","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128897449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The European Space Agency (ESA) Data Relay Satellite System (DRSS), consisting of three geo-stationary satellites, is thus seen to improve LEO spacecraft ground segment communications. In order to achieve the required frequency flexibility and interconnectivity in the DRSS, Reconfiguration Switch Matrices are required to switch incoming IF signals (from downconverters) to the appropriate upconverters and transmitters. This paper presents the feasibility study, design and manufacture of a redundant, 8×8 RSM at 5.5GHz for use on board the DRSS. The RSM includes the Microwave Switch Matrix (MSM) and the Distribution Control Unit (DCU). Several MSM architectures were identified, two of which could satisfy the system requirements for isolation and non-interruptive reconfiguration. These were analysed for optimum performance before appropriate selection, design and manufacture. The switch elements required custom designed switched amplifiers, in GaAs MMIC technology, for space and weight saving purposes. These MMIC's were custom designed in order to maximise the isolation and minimise the power consumption and biasing requirements. Various DCU configurations were compared, with regard to Telecommand (TC) word format, Telemetry (TM) and monitoring and then designed. Finally, the RSM mechanical structure was designed for a minimum size and weight realisation. This design allows for modular 8×8 MSM expansion or redundant contraction (e.g. 4×4 Redundant).","PeriodicalId":248044,"journal":{"name":"1990 20th European Microwave Conference","volume":"142 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115631402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the results of the field theoretical calculations the elements of the equivalent circuits have been determined. The Q-factor of the resonator has been improved by removing the GaAs substrate in the environment close to the resonator by means of reactive ion-etching. The applicability of the explained techniques has been proved by measurements.","PeriodicalId":248044,"journal":{"name":"1990 20th European Microwave Conference","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123894759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
