Exploration of the Future in Satellite Communication through Mouser's New eBook

Mouser Electronics, a global authorized distributor of the newest semiconductors and electronic components, has released a new eBook titled "Engineering the Future of Satellite Communications." This comprehensive guide serves as a practical resource for RF designers, system architects, and hardware engineers focusing on satellite and space-based communications systems.

The eBook is a collaborative effort with Qorvo and other leading innovators in RF and space-grade technologies, including Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (AMCC) and Analog Devices. It offers in-depth commentary from technical experts across the industry and space systems command, providing a roadmap of emerging technologies and proven techniques to help accelerate design cycles and system performance.

Ryan Jennings, director of SATCOM and systems engineering at Qorvo, notes that the satellite landscape is evolving rapidly with more complexity and performance demands. The eBook addresses these challenges head-on, navigating key issues such as size, weight, and power (SWaP) optimization, signal integrity at high frequencies, and long-term reliability in harsh space environments.

One of the main focuses of the eBook is the exploration of GaN and GaAs technologies, which can enable higher output power and bandwidth. It also delves into advancements in RF components, power management, and packaging in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), and Geostationary Orbit (GEO) satellite communications. Additionally, the eBook covers advanced packaging and thermal management design considerations for space reliability.

To further aid engineers, the eBook discusses technologies to enhance signal chain efficiency across Ku-, Ka-, and V-bands. It also features perspectives from leading engineers on design trade-offs and real-world performance.

Mouser's customers can expect 100% certified, genuine products that are fully traceable from each of its manufacturer partners. The eBook is available for free download on Mouser's website, which hosts an extensive library of technical resources to help speed up the design process for customers. This library includes a Technical Resource Centre, product data sheets, supplier-specific reference designs, application notes, technical design information, engineering tools, and other helpful information.

The "Engineering the Future of Satellite Communications" eBook offers timely insights for engineers designing next-generation satellite systems. By leveraging the knowledge and expertise of industry leaders, it provides a valuable resource for anyone seeking to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving field of satellite communications.
