When you think of satellite communications, you probably think of a dish. But that’s not the only option — a new device from the American University of Beruit and Stanford created a por… ...
The test version is a 34-m (112-ft) radio-frequency-optical-hybrid antenna called Deep Space Station 13, at the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex, near Barstow, California.
This artist’s concept shows what Deep Space Station-23, a new antenna dish capable of supporting both radio wave and laser communications, will look like when completed at the Deep Space Network ...
Nov 27, 2024 Engineers knit a 'blanket' of sophisticated radio-frequency antennas (Nanowerk News) Imagine taking the radio frequency properties of the dish antennas you see on rooftops and knitting ...
Called ‘wide angle ESA fed reflector’ (Waefr), it is a hybrid of a phased array electronically steerable antenna (ESA) and a parabolic dish, and is claimed to increases coverage area by 190% compared ...
Sometimes antennas can seem like black magic. However, when you see things like a dish antenna, it sort of makes sense, right? Just like a mirror focuses light, the parabola of a dish focuses RF ...
The new antenna dish, dubbed Deep Space Station-23 (DSS-23), is part of a transition to faster, more efficient communication as NASA prepares for a return to the Moon by the year 2024, and sets up ...
NASA is currently planning on the construction of a new deep-space communication dish in an effort to address upcoming demand on the network.
Referred to as the Modernized Enterprise Terminal (MET), and produced by L3Harris, the communications system was the first of its kind installed outside of the United States. The specific designation ...
Imagine taking the radio frequency properties of the dish antennas you see on rooftops and knitting them into a wearable garment—a sweater or a blanket that is ultralight, portable, easy to fold ...
