Abstract:
An electronic device for a communications satellite for beamforming, channelization, and/or routing is implemented using a digital folded architecture to reduce the number of serial communication paths and provide more flexible routing and network configurability and scalability. A method for configuring the switching network of a system comprising multiple electronic devices allows the system to be dynamically reconfigured to implement different types of networks.

Claim (Index 1):
A satellite communication system comprising:\n a first communication circuit having a first analog to digital converter (ADC) configurable to convert a first radio frequency (RF) input signal to a first digital signal, a first channelizer circuit configurable to generate sub-channel signals from digital signals, a first beamformer circuit configurable to generate beam signals, a first reconstructor circuit configurable to generate reconstructed digital signals, a first digital to analog converter (DAC) circuit configurable to convert a reconstructed digital signal to an RF output signal, and a first routing network configurable to route signals of the first communication circuit; a second communication circuit having a second ADC, a second channelizer circuit, a second beamformer circuit, a second reconstructor circuit, a second DAC, and a second routing network configured to route signals of the second communication circuit; a communication network having a plurality of communication lanes communicatively coupleable to the first communication circuit and the second communication circuit; and wherein the first routing network is configurable to transmit a first portion of the first digital signal to at least one of the first channelizer circuit, the first beamformer circuit, or the first reconstructor circuit and to transmit a second portion of the first digital signal different than the first portion to the second communication circuit via the communication network.
