Executive Summary : | Satellite communications On The Move (SOTM) is a communications capability used for high speed satellite connectivity in moving vehicle. SOTM terminal with vehicle mounted automatic tracking antenna will provide two-way, high-speed communications on the move under various operational conditions using HTS (High Throughput Satellite). The major challenges in Ku band SOTM are Adjacent Satellite Interference, Antenna de-pointing, Antenna Tracking, Dynamic link, Doppler effect, beam switching, Rain fade etc. The proposed research includes survey of different types of SOTM systems and
comparison of them. Automatic pointing and tracking algorithms for different antennas to be studied and MATLAB and C simulations to be carried out. Different algorithms for mechanical scanning, electronic beam steering and hybrid scanning techniques to be studied and simulations to be carried out. |
