Software Defined Networking Software Defined Networking is a network architecture that separates control logic from forwarding behavior and manages the network through software-based control. It decouples decision-making from packet handling. Concept/Framework Software Defined Payload Software Defined Payload is a communications payload whose functions are controlled, configured, or reconfigured through software rather than being fixed entirely by hardware design. Hardware Solid-State Power Amplifier Solid-State Power Amplifier is a power amplifier that uses semiconductor devices rather than vacuum tubes to increase RF output power. Hardware Space Segment Space Segment is the portion of a satellite system located in space, including spacecraft, payloads, and orbiting assets that provide the service. Hardware Space Systems Space systems are the collection of spacecraft, ground segments, mission control functions, and supporting infrastructure used to operate a mission in the space environment. The term includes the architecture required… Concept/Framework Spacecraft A spacecraft is a hardware platform intended to operate in the space environment and perform a mission such as communications, sensing, navigation, or experimentation. It includes the structural, power, control,… Hardware Spectral Efficiency Spectral Efficiency is the amount of useful information transmitted per unit of spectrum, usually expressed as bits per second per hertz. It measures how effectively spectrum is converted into usable… Concept/Framework Spectrum Spectrum is the range of electromagnetic frequencies used for communication, sensing, and other radio-related functions. It is the underlying resource for wireless systems. Concept/Framework Spectrum Coordination Spectrum Coordination is the planning and management of radio spectrum use to reduce interference and allow compatible services to operate. It aligns technical and regulatory use of frequency resources. Operations Spot Beam Spot Beam is a narrow, focused satellite or radio beam that concentrates energy on a limited geographic area. It provides localized coverage with higher directional gain. Hardware
