RECEIVER DUAL-REFLECTOR ANTENNA SYSTEM FOR INTERFERENCE SUPPRESSION ONBOARD SATELLITE

摘要

A system for interference suppression onboard a satellite may include an antenna that is configured to receive uplink signals from a ground-coverage area and to generate a first signal. A spot-beam antenna may be configured to receive interference signals and to generate a second signal. A processor may be configured to receive the first signal from the antenna and the second signal from the spot-beam antenna and to perform a cross-correlation to generate a composite signal that includes a null at an interference frequency. The antenna may be a shaped reflector antenna and the spot-beam antenna may be a parabolic reflector antenna.
