Abstract: A method for communication includes transmitting first and second copies of a signal toward first and second satellite transponders, respectively, so as to cause the first and second satellite transponders to transmit respective first and second downlink signals with mutually-orthogonal linear polarizations toward a coverage region. A correction is applied to at least one of the first and second copies before transmitting the first and second copies. The correction is selected so as to remove a frequency offset between the first and second downlink signals and cause the first and second downlink signals to have a constant phase offset in at least some of the coverage region.

Abstract: Antenna and satellite communications assemblies and associated satellite tracking systems that may include a low profile two-way antenna arrangement, tracking systems, and applications thereof. Applications for the system include military, civilian, and domestic emergency response applications. The antenna arrangements may be configured to form a spatial multi-element array able to track a satellite in an elevation plane by electronically dynamically targeting the antenna arrangement and/or mechanically dynamically rotating the antenna arrangements about transverse axes giving rise to generation of respective elevation angles and dynamically changing the respective distances between the axes whilst maintaining a predefined relationship between said distances and the respective elevation angles. The system provides autonomous dynamic tracking of satellite signals and can be used for satellite communications on moving vehicles in a variety of frequency bands for military and civilian applications.

Abstract: A system for utilizing circular polarized signals to perform satellite communication to mobile users. The satellite includes transponders, each transponder providing linearly polarized signals and at least two orthogonal linear polarized transponders. A plurality of mobile users with a circularly polarized antenna for receiving signals from the satellite, and singly circular or linear polarized transmit antennas for transmitting signals to the satellite. Circuits for providing a correction scheme implemented in a hub side to offset frequency error between two channels produced by the satellite transponder local oscillators mismatch.

Abstract: A test system and method for indoor testing of a mobile antenna terminal having a first antenna with a first aperture of a first size and, preferably, operable in a receive-only mode and/or a transmit and receive mode. The system uses a second antenna having a dual port feed and a reflector, the second antenna having a second aperture of a second size, which is two or more times the first size, and being operative to form a plane wave. The first antenna is mounted to a test platform that is positioned within the second aperture and is operative for rotating and tilting movement of the antenna to simulate movement on a vehicle. The test system uses a source of RF test signals and communications test equipment coupled to at least the first antenna, as well as a processor for determining a performance of the mobile antenna terminal.
