Efficient Digital Beamforming Technique Compatible with Non-Uniform Beam and Array Lattices (Artes 4.0 at 5c.492)
The submission deadline for this tender has passed.
Tender Summary
The EUROPEAN SPACE RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY CENTRE (ESTEC) in Netherlands from Europe region had released this tender for Tenders are invited for Efficient Digital Beamforming Technique Compatible with Non-Uniform Beam and Array Lattices (Artes 4.0 at 5c.492)
The objective of this activity is to develop and evaluate efficient digital beamforming algorithms and techniques that are compatible with non-uniform antenna arrays or non-uniform beam lattices. The developed techniques will be implemented and evaluated on a representative processor test bed. Targeted Improvements: 30 to 70% power reduction on the implementation of digital beamforming algorithms with non-uniform input/outputs with respect to current digital beamforming implementations. Description: Current Very High Throughput Satellite (VHTS) payloads that employ digital beamforming often use Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithms as it reduces the beamforming complexity from NxN to Nlog(N), where N is the number of input values. Unfortunately, FFT-based beamforming algorithms require uniformity of the antenna array elements and on the generated beam lattice. To achieve full steering flexibility for digitally formed beams, the required resources (mass/power) are significant and currently it is not possible to form hundreds of beams this way. This activity aims to overcome this limitation. A power efficient digital beamforming technique will be developed that is compatible with both irregular arrays and irregular beam lattices or antenna array architectures, and that allows full steering flexibility for a high number of beams. Application scenarios apply to many satcom systems, in particular for non-geostationary satellites that are often more limited in terms of power and mass due to the smaller platform capabilities. A combined software and hardware processor testbed will be developed and used to test and implement the developed beamforming technique published on 30 Oct 2023. The tender expired on 19 Jan 2024. This tender is sourced from Official Website and is eligible for suppliers interested in Information technology services. Interested bidders can obtain further information including complete bid documents or ways to participate by registering on Tender Impulse and referencing via Tender Impulse ID 3754643.
