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.

The paper analyzes the intensity of the use of geostationary orbit (GSO) and non-geostationary orbits (non-GSO) by modern satellite communication systems of the fixed-satellite service in the Ku-, Ka- and Q/V-bands. The analysis is made for geostationary orbit and two most used segments of non-GSO orbits with apogee altitudes up to 1500 km and above 8000 km. Results for highly inclined elliptical orbits (HEO) are also presented. The analysis results show a shortage of orbital and frequency resources in GSOs and non-GSOs for the considered frequency bands.

Решение задачи связи в Арктике, а также в тундре, в тайге, в лесу, в море, на полях возможно только с использованием мобильных систем спутниковой связи. ФГУП «Космическая связь» (г. Москва) располагает группировкой спутников, которая постоянно расширяется. Для надежной связи в Арктике и в северных широтах, помимо геостационарных спутников, запущены спутники, движущиеся по высокоорбитальным траекториям. Для переключения со спутника на спутник, входящий в зону видимости абонента, необходимо использовать антенные решетки. Проблема заключается в том, что в настоящее время отсутствуют мобильные терминалы высокоскоростной спутниковой связи, а стоимость зарубежных аналогов препятствует широкому их использованию (достигает 50 тысяч долларов). Обычно радиолокационная связь (РЛС) с фазированной антенной решеткой используется для наблюдения за тысячами угловых точек, для отслеживания сотни целей. Такие требования могут быть выполнены только путем сканирования луча в пространстве в течение микросекунды. Ясно, что необходимо электронное управление лучом, поскольку механически вращать антенну не представляется возможным. Лишь некоторая часть вышеуказанных проблем будет затрагиваться в этой статье, ниже будут представлены электронная модель антенной решетки и её математическая модель The solution of the communication problem in the Arctic, as well as in the tundra, in the taiga, in the forest, in the sea, in the fields is possible only with the use of mobile satellite communication systems. FSUE "Space Communications" (Moscow) has a constantly expanding group of satellites. For reliable communication in the Arctic and Northern latitudes, in addition to geostationary satellites, satellites moving along high-orbit trajectories were launched. To switch from one satellite to the other included in the subscriber's visibility area, it is necessary to use antenna arrays. The problem is that currently there are no mobile terminals for high-speed satellite communication, and the cost of foreign analogues prevents their widespread use (up to 50 thousand dollars). Typically, a phased array radar is used to track thousands of corner points to track hundreds of targets. Such requirements can only be met by scanning the beam in space for a microsecond. It is clear, that electronic beam control is necessary since it is not possible to mechanically rotate the antenna. Only some of the above problems will be touched upon in this article. An electronic model of the antenna array and its mathematical model is presented

RF-MEMS, i.e., Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) for Radio Frequency (RF) passive components, exhibit interesting characteristics for the upcoming 5G and Internet of Things (IoT) scenarios, in which reconfigurable broadband and frequency-agile devices, like high-order switching units, tunable filters, multi-state attenuators, and phase shifters will be necessary to enable mm-Wave services, small cells, and advanced beamforming. In particular, satellite communication systems providing high-speed Internet connectivity utilize the K and Ka bands, which offer larger bandwidth compared to lower frequencies. This paper focuses on two design concepts of multi-state phase shifter designed and manufactured in RF-MEMS technology. The networks feature 4 switchable stages (16 states) and are developed for the K and Ka bands. The proposed phase shifters are realized in a surface micromachining RF-MEMS technology and the experimentally measured parameters are compared with Finite Element Method (FEM) multi-physical electromechanical and RF simulations. The simulated phase shifts at both the operating bands fit well the measured value, despite the measured losses (S21) are larger than 5–7 dB if compared to simulations. However, such a non-ideality has a technological motivation that is explained in the paper and that will be fixed in the manufacturing of future devices.

In this paper is introduced the first proposal for development of Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (GADSS) in 1999 by the author of this article. The GADSS is de facto the integration of space (radio and satellite) Communication, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) with Tracking, Detecting and Search and Rescue (SAR) systems, which have to provide airmen with global communications and locating networks. The GPS, GLONASS and other Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) provide precise positioning data for vessels, land vehicles and aircraft, but modern CNS demands need for enhanced services and augmentation of GNSS networks. Both networks have to be integrated under an GADSS umbrella with elements capable of being operated by any individual onboard aircraft to ensure prompt distress alert for SAR procedure. The enhanced concept of GADSS is that SAR authorities ashore and ships in the immediate vicinity of the aircraft in distress have to be rapidly alerted via radio and satellite communication systems and to assist in a coordinated SAR operations with the minimum of delay. In 2016, 16 years in delay, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has begun its process to amend international standards and recommended practices to align with GADSS concept. This paper will also introduce the necessary networks and equipment, which has to ensure harmonized and enhanced maritime and aeronautical global SAR systems.

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.
