Abstract:
A system for remotely generating beams to be concurrently radiated by a downlink broadcast antenna array having N array elements onboard a satellite, N being an integer>1, includes a ground station comprising a digital beam forming (DBF) processor, a wavefront multiplexer, and D/A converters. The DBF processor applies beam weight vectors which include information on a footprint and a pointing direction of a beam to a content data stream and generates N data streams. The wavefront multiplexer having M input ports and M output ports, M being an integer≥N, receives the N data streams and M−N diagnostic streams at the M input ports, performs a spatial transform on the M input streams to generate M output streams. The D/A converters convert respectively the M output streams to M baseband signals which are then transformed into an uplink signal to be transmitted to the satellite.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for remotely generating beams to be concurrently radiated by a downlink broadcast antenna array having N array elements onboard a satellite, N being an integer greater than 1, the system comprising:\n a first ground station comprising:\n a first digital beam forming processor for receiving a first content data stream, applying a first set of beam weight vectors to the first content data stream, the first set of beam weight vectors including information on a first footprint and a first pointing direction of a first beam, and generating N first encoded data streams; \n a first wavefront multiplexer having M first input ports and M first output ports, M being a positive integer greater than or equal to N, coupled to the first digital beam forming processor, for receiving the N first encoded data streams and M minus N first diagnostic streams as M first input streams at the M first input ports, performing a first spatial transform on the M first input streams to generate M first output data streams; and \n M first digital-to-analog converters coupled to the first wavefront multiplexer for receiving and converting respectively the M first output data streams to M first baseband signals, \n wherein the first ground station transforms the M first baseband signals into a first uplink signal and transmits the first uplink signal to the satellite.
