Deployment of space systems based on multi-satellite constellations to provide broadband Internet access and communication services acutely raises the question of their radio frequency support including issues of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) between competing space systems using multi-satellite constellations (StarLink, OneWeb, Kuiper, etc.), their EMC with traditional space systems (satellite communication systems that employ spacecraft in geostationary and non-geostationary orbits, space systems of other services), as well as regulatory issues of entering into service and staged deployment of space systems. The article formulates the problematic issues of radio frequency support of modern space systems taking into account the trends of satellite constellations deployment and proposes the solutions with consideration to international and national requirements in the regulation of radio frequency spectrum including the ITU requirements and the requirements of Russian State Commission for Radio Frequencies. The paper shows the ways to share the radio frequency spectrum to meet new requirements of the World Radiocommunication Conference 2019 (WRC-19).

Currently, the development of satellite communications systems (SCS) is associated with the development of signals of complex structure. The popularization and distribution of software-defined radio systems (Software-defined radio, SDR) are noted, which leads to a decrease of quality of functioning of the SCS. Promising areas of countering the unauthorized use of the time-frequency resource of the KA repeater are methods aimed at determining the location of subscriber terminals (ST) and analyzing the service and semantic parts of the transmitted message. Accounting for changes of physical parameters requires the use of a large amount of heterogeneous a priori data; it is not achievable task in practice. According to the theory of mathematical statistics, the approximation is used at solving problems of sample analysis. The result of the approximation is a spatio-temporal radio-frequency portrait (STRFP) of an ST participating in the formation of a group signal. Thus, the aim of the research is to develop a model of changing the physical parameters of a radio signal and to study the possibility of approximating physical parameters in order to form a spatio-temporal radiofrequency portrait of an ST SCS.

Civil, special and dual-use satellite communication systems are used everywhere in space, land, aviation and maritime means of transmitting information to remote subscribers. At the same time, during operation of these systems, one of the main issues is ensuring the required level of noise immunity of communication channels when operating in a complex electromagnetic environment, in conditions of both unintentional and intentional interference. This article proposes a technique for estimating the noise immunity of spacecraft on-board repeaters and satellite earth stations under the influence of intentional interference based on the application of the suppression coordinate law, which takes into account the probabilities of suppressing a useful communication signal depending on the coordinates of interference points by frequency, time, radiation power. The results of calculations and graphical dependencies based on results of mathematical simulation of impact efficiency on onboard repeaters of spacecraft and terrestrial stations of satellite communication of noise barrier by frequency of interference in modes of repeater functioning both with direct transfer of signal spectrum by frequency and with its processing on board are presented. At any stage of design of communication systems in the composition of various complexes of aviation, sea, land, space bases, it is possible to obtain estimates of their noise immunity, or vice versa, when designing electronic warfare, to obtain estimates of suppression of satellite communication systems according to the probability criterion.

The technical aspects of the main promising projects in the segments of medium and low-orbit satellite communication systems are considered, as well as the project of the domestic low-orbit information and telecommunications system using the terahertz range, which is based on the use of satellite platforms of the micro- and nanosatellite class and the distribution of functional blocks of complex satellite payloads more high-end on multiple functionally related satellites. The proposed system of low-orbit satellite communications represents the groupings of low-orbit spacecraft (LEO-system) with the architecture of a "distributed satellite", which include the groupings of the root (leading) satellites and satellite repeaters (slaves). Root satellites are interconnected in a ring network by high-speed links between the satellites. The geometric size of the “distributed satellite” is the area around the root satellite with a radius of about 1 km. The combination of beams, which are formed by the repeater satellites, make up the service area of the LEO system. The requirements for the integrated service area of the LEO system (geographical service area) determine the requirements for the number of distributed satellites in the system as a whole. In the proposed system to reduce mutual interference between the grouping of the root (leading) satellites and repeater satellites (slaves) and, accordingly, minimizing distortions of the information signal when implementing inter-satellite communication, this line (radio channel) was created in an unlicensed frequency (e.g., in the terahertz 140 GHz) range. In addition, it additionally allows you to minimize the size of the antennas of such a broadband channel and simplify the operation of these satellite systems.

By increasing the demand for radio frequency (RF) and access of hackers and spoofers to low price hardware and software defined radios (SDR), radio frequency interference (RFI) became a more frequent and serious problem. In order to increase the security of satellite communication (Satcom) and guarantee the quality of service (QoS) of end users, it is crucial to detect the RFI in the desired bandwidth and protect the receiver with a proper mitigation mechanism. Digital narrowband signals are so sensitive into the interference and because of their special power spectrum shape, it is hard to detect and eliminate the RFI from their bandwidth. Thus, a proper detector requires a high precision and smooth estimation of input signal power spectral density (PSD). By utilizing the presented power spectrum by the simplified Welch method, this article proposes a solid and effective algorithm that can find all necessary interference parameters in the frequency domain while targeting practical implantation for the embedded system with minimum complexity. The proposed detector can detect several multi narrowband interferences and estimate their center frequency, bandwidth, power, start, and end of each interference individually. To remove multiple interferences, a chain of several infinite impulse response (IIR) notch filters with multiplexers is proposed. To minimize damage to the original signal, the bandwidth of each notch is adjusted in a way that maximizes the received signal to noise ratio (SNR) by the receiver. Multiple carrier wave interferences (MCWI) is utilized as a jamming attack to the Digital Video Broadcasting-Satellite-Second Generation (DVB-S2) receiver and performance of a new detector and mitigation system is investigated and validated in both simulation and practical tests. Based on the obtained results, the proposed detector can detect a weak power interference down to −25 dB and track a hopping frequency interference with center frequency variation speed up to 3 kHz. Bit error ratio (BER) performance shows 3 dB improvement by utilizing new adaptive mitigation scenario compared to non-adaptive one. Finally, the protected DVB-S2 can receive the data with SNR close to the normal situation while it is under the attack of the MCWI jammer.
