Patent number: 8463204Abstract: In order to maintain isolation of signals within a multiport amplifier of a communications satellite and to reduce cross-talk components, by monitoring communications signals passing through the multiport amplifier, output signals of the multiport amplifier are sensed and downconverted to baseband, and applied to an emulator mechanism of the multiport amplifier. The emulator mechanism comprises a reverse matrix of the multiport amplifier, which recovers the input signals of the multiport amplifier together with cross-talk components, and a digital signal processor which carries out a frequency analysis of the cross-talk components by means of an FFT, and employs a digital model of the multiport amplifier to determine the state of the multiport amplifier which gives rise to such cross-talk components. The digital signal processor may be located at a ground station to which communication is made via a telemetry link.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2008Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Astrium LimitedInventors: Daryl Richard Jones, Alan David Couchman, Michael Harverson
