Abstract: A data transmission system in a communication network comprising a data modulator comprises: a first part at the level of the collection point part comprising: an NCR module taking account of an external absolute time reference to reconstitute a network clock, a transmitter module receiving the value of a time reference to be inserted into the data packet to be transmitted and transmitting to the NCR module an information item on an instant of synchronization for the receiver, a second part at the level of the radiofrequency part of a gateway comprising; a receiver module, a module for reconstructing a clock locally, a module for inserting a time reference into a data packet received by the receiver before transmission of the data via the satellite, the first part and the second part exchange encapsulated data.

Abstract: A method of telecommunications is proposed in a multi-spot geographical coverage system having an outbound path to transmit information, via a satellite or aircraft type relay device, from a plurality of ground stations to a plurality of terminals located in spots. Each downlink of the outbound path is associated with a color in an N-color re-use scheme with N?2. For at least one color (or sub-color), one of the ground stations transmits to the relay device all the information intended for transmission by the relay device with this color or (sub-color).

Abstract: An onboard directional plane antenna comprises at least one array of radiating-slot waveguides comprising an alternating succession of three superposed metallic plates and of two dielectric substrates. The two substrates each comprise at least four adjacent waveguides, corresponding and communicating with one another pairwise by way of coupling slots. Each waveguide of the upper substrate furthermore comprises a plurality of radiating slots passing through the upper metallic plate, all the radiating slots of one and the same waveguide being parallel to one another and oriented in one and the same direction, the radiating slots of two adjacent waveguides being disposed in chevrons. Each waveguide of the lower substrate comprises an internal individual feed circuit comprising an individual electronic circuit for phase shifting and amplification.
