Communication and TT&C Laboratory
The Communication and Tracking, Telemetry, and Command (TT&C) Laboratory develops advanced telecommunication systems, techniques and technologies for communications. Its infrastructure provides tests, analysis and characterisation of Telecom systems consisting of hardware and/or software to:
- Evaluate the performance of Telecom algorithms, transmitters or receivers (from prototype to commercial models)
- CharacteriseTelecom hardware prototypes (ground or space transmitter or receiver)
- Performing research and rapid prototyping at the beginning of a technology development, altogether applying expert knowledge and specialised equipment within ESA-ESTEC premises.
Tests, analysis and characterisation of Telecom systems
Gateways and satellite interactive user terminals
The Lab includes state-of-the-art operational and test equipment supporting the experimentation of advanced satcom technologies, such as testbeds for pilot systems and an antenna farm for user links.
