The Agency will use this band operationally for the first time in a polar orbit mission for the EUMETSAT Metop-SG spacecrafts (first Launch in 2021), currently under development by ESA. In this paper the SNOWBEAR (Svalbard grouNd StatiOn for Wide Band Earth observation dAta Reception) project status and goals, together with the receiving ground station system are described. Data collection and analysis in terms of ”absolute” (i.e., signal strength, cross-polar level, tracking errors, signal to noise, number of recorded frames) and ”relative” (measured performances compared against theoretical ones) statistics are also introduced. Preliminary analysis of two orbit cycles (around 210 passes each) is then reported, to give a first insight of the link performance and to introduce problems and possible causes.","PeriodicalId":330874,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Workshop on Tracking, Telemetry and Command Systems for Space Applications (TTC)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130603884","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}

Despite optimization of the ground station, with installation of higher gain antennas and more performant low noise amplifiers, it was not always possible to directly decode the received signal using existing modems, either hardware or software based. Therefore, a dedicated signal demodulation algorithm was developed and used to post-process all recorded data since launch. The algorithm has been verified and optimized by checking its performance against test data and then it was used to extract useful information from recorded satellite telemetry.","PeriodicalId":330874,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Workshop on Tracking, Telemetry and Command Systems for Space Applications (TTC)","volume":"160 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114678190","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}

In particular, the main functionality to be included on the User Terminal (UT) side is the proper collection of the estimated Channel State Information (CSI). On the Gateway (GW), a computationally-efficient calculation of the precoding matrix and application of the resulting precoder to the vectors of symbol streams, have to been developed. Using this demonstrator we are able to prove the feasibility of precoding implementation in satellite communications relying on the superframe framing structure defined in Annex E of the DVB-S2X standard.","PeriodicalId":330874,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Workshop on Tracking, Telemetry and Command Systems for Space Applications (TTC)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128015426","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 concept is to acquire two or more replicas of the same signal at different Ground Stations and combine them after delay and phase correction, due mainly to media and clock offset. After a first study phase of the best combination and correlation methods, as well as of the requirements driven by the analysis of the error sources of delay and phase misalignment, the tool has been designed, implemented and successfully tested. Together with the correlator, a simulator has also been developed, in order to better test the performance of the combination tool. Tests with simulated, static (generated in ESOC) and real mission data have been carried out. The improvement in the Signal-to-Noise Ratio has been demonstrated, and the information bits have been successfully reconstructed after the combination of the deep space signal acquired in Cebreros and Malargüe stations from Exomars and Mars Express spacecraft, endorsing the tool for an off-line use in the near future.","PeriodicalId":330874,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Workshop on Tracking, Telemetry and Command Systems for Space Applications (TTC)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127967809","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}
