Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for configuring a wireless telecommunication system are provided. An example method includes converting, at each teleport, one first digital signal of multiple first digital signals into a corresponding first analog signal of multiple first analog signals, each of the multiple first analog signals having a corresponding phase shift, and transmitting, by each teleport, the corresponding first analog signal.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing voice, video, or data services using optimized ground track satellites and ground tracking antennas are disclosed herein. An example system includes first satellites in a first constellation, the first satellites having a first fixed ground track relative to Earth's surface, and an antenna being located at a location on the first fixed ground track, the antenna being configured to steer in a single axis to track the first satellites, wherein each of the first satellites reach the location, after an integer number of days that include a period of two or more sidereal days with an adjustment to account for nodal precession of the first satellites.

Abstract: A flat panel antenna fed by a planar feed array and steered by varactors performs the function of a single beam phased array antenna. This flat panel antenna has a planar array to passively amplify radio frequency (RF) signals, and a transmitarray metasurface having an array of unit cells to steer the antenna's main beam. It uses varactors to dynamically control the phase shift for each unit cell.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing voice, video, or data services using optimized ground track satellites and ground tracking antennas are disclosed herein. An example system includes first satellites in a first constellation, the first set of satellites having a first fixed ground track relative to Earth's surface, and an antenna being located at a location on the first fixed ground track, the antenna being configured to steer in a single axis to track the first satellites, wherein each of the first satellites reach the location, after an integer number of days that include a period of two or more sidereal days with an adjustment to account for nodal precession of the first satellites.

Abstract: A mesh receiver, computer readable storage medium and method for a very small aperture terminal (VSAT) performing communications in a satellite-based network. The mesh receiver includes a receiver that receives a plurality of TDMA mesh carriers simultaneously in the network in plural channels. The mesh carriers have a transmitted frequency, transmitted gain, and transmitted timing that is unknown to the mesh receiver. The mesh receiver also includes circuitry configured to blindly derive gain, frequency, and timing values from the received mesh carriers, and a demodulator that demodulates the received TDMA mesh carriers and generates demodulated bursts for packets of the communications based on the blindly derived gain, frequency, and timing values.
