一种基于“伪卫星”原理的空中通信中继系统设想

Conceptual study of airborne relay system based on pseudo-satellite principle

针对地面和天基通信网络难以覆盖的区域和场景,提出一种基于"伪卫星"原理的空中通信中继系统。系统将天基Ku/Ka频段通信载荷配置在空基平台上,利用现有装备的卫星通信终端,将通信卫星和地面通信网络有机整合为"天空地"一体化通信网络。系统具有体系扩容、覆盖提升、网络提速和系统健壮的特点,在未来的通信中可发挥重要作用。

An airborne relay system based on pseudo-satellite principle is proposed for areas and scenarios that are difficult to cover by ground and satellite communication networks. The space-based Ku/Ka-band communication payload is deployed on an airborne platform. By making full use of existing satellite terminal equipments, the airborne communication platform, the communication satellites and the ground communication network are organically integrated into a space-sky-ground communication system, which has the characteristics of system expansion, improved coverage, network acceleration and robustness. The system can play an important role in future communications.
