I'm French electronic student, I need some informations about airborne
communications and data management solutions to airlines.
I need also technicals documentations aviation electronics systems,
electromagnetic compatibility, transmissions capacities.
Please send me your contacts or some internet links, technical Books,
etc....
Thank you.
Hey Oliver,
The heart of most systems is the Phased Array Antenna which allows the
reception of the Satellite Carrier while under way. Unlike a fixed
earth station dish the phased array is a dome with several antenna
arrays distributed to provide an ideal coverage area for the size of
the overall dome. As the aircraft's orientation changes in relation to
the satellite, ideally there are always enough phased antenna elements
to detect the carrier.
In earlier designs a tracking dish inside a dome would move according
to sensor readings on the aircraft that indicated its position,
heading, and Yaw, pitch and roll relative to the target satellite. The
robotics required to do all the servo work was quite an effort and
required a lot of servicing.
These antennas are also in use on Vehicles, and vessels both civilian
and military applications.
Study the Satellite owners and bandwidth resellers out there like
Hughes, IDIREC, and others for bandwidth and special services.
We just finished a year long multi-axis robotic Broadband Mobile
Satellite project that goes to market Q1 2005. If you need help email
me and I will send you a bunch of links from my files.
Good luck and if you are considering this topic as a future career the
sky's the limit for growth. Pun intended.
