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 3):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first ground station further comprises:\n a second digital beam forming processor for receiving a second content data stream, applying a second set of beam weight vectors to the second content data stream, the second set of beam weight vectors including information on a second footprint and a second pointing direction of a second beam, the second pointing direction being different from the first pointing direction, and generating N second encoded data streams; a second wavefront multiplexer having M second input ports and M second output ports, coupled to the second digital beam forming processor, for receiving the N second encoded data streams and M minus N second diagnostic streams as M second input streams at the M second input ports, performing a second spatial transform on the M second input streams to generate M second output data streams; and M second digital-to-analog converters coupled to the second wavefront multiplexer for receiving and converting respectively the M second output data streams to M second baseband signals, wherein the first ground station transforms the M second baseband signals into a second uplink signal and transmits the second uplink signal concurrently with the first uplink signal to the satellite.
