Satellite Application Notes and White Papers

  1. Compatibility Of Services Using WiMAX Technology With Satellite Services In The 2.3 To 2.7 GHz And 3.3 To 3.8 GHz Bands 6/3/2009
    WiMAX system profiles currently consider use of the frequency bands 2.3 to 2.7 GHz and 3.3 to 3.8 GHz which also have ITU frequency allocations for satellite services. The purpose of this article from the WiMAX Forum is to provide background on the satellite-related issues that relate to co-existence with wireless access services in these two bands and address the interference scenarios that can occur.

  2. Application Note: A Low-Cost Mixer For The 10.7 To 12.8 GHz Direct Broadcast Satellite Market 3/5/2009
    The wide bandwidth requirement in DBS satellite applications places a big performance demand on the individual components in the low-noise block downconverter. This article describes a low-cost, wide bandwidth passive mixer for 10.7 to 12.8 GHz DBS applications with low LO drive requirements. The mixer uses a dual mixer diode in the SOT-23 package.
