Direct To Device
Direct To Device is a connectivity model in which a network reaches a user device without relying on a local access intermediary. It is used to extend service coverage and…
Concept/Framework
Doppler Compensation
Doppler Compensation is the adjustment of frequency or timing to counteract Doppler shift caused by relative motion between transmitter and receiver.
Operations
Downconverter
Downconverter is a frequency conversion stage that shifts a signal from a higher frequency to a lower frequency for reception or processing by mixing the incoming RF signal with a…
Hardware
Downlink Power Control
Downlink Power Control is the adjustment of transmit power on a downlink to maintain service quality or reduce interference. It is used to balance coverage and efficiency.
Operations
Dynamic Spectrum Access
A set of techniques and regulatory frameworks that allocate and reallocate radio spectrum access in real time based on actual usage and interference conditions, rather than through fixed, exclusive, long-term…
Concept/Framework
Earth Observation
Earth Observation is the collection of data about the Earth using remote sensing platforms such as satellites or aircraft to support measurement, mapping, and monitoring.
Concept/Framework
Earth-Fixed Beam
A satellite payload beam-steering technique in which onboard beam-steering continuously repoints a spot beam to compensate for the satellite's orbital motion, holding the beam's ground footprint — and therefore the…
Concept/Framework
Earth-Moving Beam
A satellite payload beam architecture in which a spot beam points in a fixed direction relative to the satellite itself, without continuous onboard steering to compensate for orbital motion, causing…
Concept/Framework
EIRP
EIRP is the equivalent radiated power that would be produced if an isotropic antenna radiated the same field strength in the reference direction. It is calculated from transmitter power, antenna…
Concept/Framework
Electric Propulsion
Electric Propulsion is a propulsion method that uses electrical energy to accelerate propellant and produce thrust. It converts electrical power into directed motion.
