| dc.description.abstract | A 30-element phased array, with remote beamforming and multiple access signal design, is the basis for a new multiple access concept to be used by the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS). System tradeoffs evolved a control and calibration concept which parallels modern estimation theory in dynamic systems and reduces the complexity of adaptive control while maintaining the necessary accuracy. A system dynamic model propagates "open loop" estimates of optimal weight vectors based on user satellite ephemerides derived from tracking data. A sampled-data closed loop adaptive control system periodically updates the beam-steering vector to eliminate parameter drifts and modeling errors, and to maintain the weight vector near optimum. The concept is primarily useful in the specified noninterference environment, though some nulling capability is possible. | |
