  • Patent number: 11764868
    Abstract: A satellite transmitter includes K transmission antenna elements, a multiplexing unit configured to multiplex each of K digital signals on a frequency axis and then convert the multiplexed digital signals to time-domain digital signals, a digital-to-analog converter, a PAPR calculation unit configured to calculate a PAPR for each of the K digital signals, a beam-to-beam relative phase calculation unit configured to calculate a beam-to-beam relative phase for suppressing a peak power of the transmission antenna elements, an excitation coefficient calculation unit configured to calculate K updated excitation coefficients based on the beam-to-beam relative phase and the beam-formation excitation coefficient, and an excitation coefficient multiplication unit configured to generate the digital signals of a frequency domain to be output to the multiplexing unit by multiplying a received relay signal by each of the K updated excitation coefficients in the frequency domain.

  • Patent number: 11387894
    Abstract: A satellite receiver includes: N reception antenna elements; N demultiplexing units; a correlation detection unit configured to perform correlation processing on each of reception signals demultiplexed by the N demultiplexing units with a reception antenna element that receives the highest power being set as a reference element so as to calculate a relative phase difference, and calculate an excitation coefficient for cancelling a phase difference between the N reception antenna elements for each of sub-channels based on the calculated relative phase difference; N phase compensation units configured to multiply the reception signals demultiplexed by the N demultiplexing units, respectively, by the excitation coefficient for each of the sub-channels; and a combiner configured to combine multiplication results from the N phase compensation units for each of the sub-channels to generate output signals.
