Abstract

The QV-LIFT project aims at developing the foundation of the Ground Segment Technology for the future Q/V band Terabit SatCom systems. This will be done providing core technologies at two levels of the communication stack. At hardware level, key RF building blocks and subsystems in the Q/V band will be developed that will fill a specific and well known European technology gap; at network level, QV-LIFTwill develop a Q/V band smart gateways management system able to counteract the propagation impairments which presents one of the main obstacles in the deployment of the Q/V band feeders system.

Goals

Sviluppo prototipale di alcuni blocchi fondamentali del segmento di terra di un futuro sistema satellitare in banda Q/V, In particolare:
1) a livello hardware: sviluppo della catena di ricezione a radiofrequenza,
2) a livello rete: implementazione di un sistema di gestione delle gateway in grado di ottimizzare la ripartizione delle risorse (smart gateway management system).
