GEO GEO is geostationary Earth orbit, an orbital regime where a satellite remains approximately fixed relative to a point on Earth. It supports persistent coverage of a region through orbital mechanics… Concept/Framework Gyroscope Gyroscope is a sensor that measures angular rate or orientation change and is used in guidance, navigation, and control. It provides inertial motion information. Hardware High Throughput Satellite High Throughput Satellite is a satellite system designed to deliver higher data capacity than traditional satellite systems, usually by using spot beams and frequency reuse to focus resources into smaller… Hardware High-Gain Antenna High-Gain Antenna is an antenna that concentrates energy in a narrow beam to increase effective signal strength in the desired direction by shaping the radiation pattern to focus transmitted or… Hardware Horizon Masking Horizon Masking is the obstruction or loss of visibility near the horizon caused by the Earth, terrain, or vessel geometry. It blocks low-angle paths and prevents RF signals from reaching… Concept/Framework Inclination Inclination is the angle between an orbital plane and a reference plane, commonly used to describe satellite orbit geometry. Concept/Framework Information Assurance For Satcom Information Assurance For Satcom is the set of security, integrity, availability, and governance controls applied to satellite communications systems and traffic. Concept/Framework Inter Satellite Link An Inter Satellite Link is a communication path used for data exchange between satellites, enabling spacecraft to relay information directly in orbit. Hardware Interference Interference is any undesired electromagnetic signal or emission that reduces the performance of a receiver or sensing system. It may be caused by co-channel overlap, adjacent-channel leakage, harmonic content, intermodulation,… Concept/Framework Ka Band Ka Band is a microwave frequency range used in high-capacity communication systems, commonly employed in satellite and fixed wireless links to support wider bandwidth and higher data throughput.
