The challenge: More and more space crafts orbiting the earth • Bigger and more teleports with many different sizes and • designs of antennas ROUTE AMPLIFY SPLIT SWITCH ROUTE AMPLIFY SPLIT SWITCH
Importance of Signal Handling Ever increasing traffic between space & terrestrial networks • GEO orbiting satellites well exceed 420 • Hundreds of LEO and MEO satellites provide interlinks • between spacecraft. All eventually beamed down to earth Increasing traffic density, as well as capacity means • broader IF bands (E.G HTS Satellites) Bigger earth stations and wider range of antennas at each • of these teleports Antennas designed to handle multiple RF links of different • frequencies ; Ka, Ku and C-bands ROUTE AMPLIFY SPLIT SWITCH ROUTE AMPLIFY SPLIT SWITCH

Case Studies & applications Excelling in RF Engineering ROUTE AMPLIFY SPLIT SWITCH
Case Study 1 The brief: European teleport wanting to balance, equalise & distribute all downlink and uplink traffic with variable gain & slope to compensate cable losses; and have variable gain on each splitter output to balance signals Rack layout of ETL Modular system with 50 downlink and 50 uplink chains. system ETL solution & roles: Initial definition of requirements • • Customisation: each RF path has a variable gain amplifier and splitter (combiner on TX) with variable gain per output; based on ETL’s modular system chassis. New RF cards developed. Supply of amplifiers, splitters, fan • trays, termination panels, and intra- module cables. Supply and integration into racks. • ROUTE AMPLIFY SPLIT SWITCH
