Using The Q/V Band For Satellite Feeder Links
2013-12-13 15:34:21| rfglobalnet Downloads
Owners of high throughput satellites are increasingly looking for new ways to increase throughput while maintaining or improving the cost per bit. A key limitation of current Ka-band systems is the simultaneous use of Ka-band for both revenue generating user links and backhaul feeder links. The 40 and 50 GHz bands provide opportunity to move commercial high throughput satellite feeder links out of Ka band, enabling full use of the Ka-band for users.

Conventional satellite imagery may underestimate forest clearing for subsistence agriculture
2013-12-09 19:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: Analysis of forest cover using medium-scale satellite imagery may miss deforestation for small-scale subsistence agriculture, finds a study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters. The study, which involved researchers from the University of Maryland, the State University of New York and Woods Hole Research Center, is based on change in forest cover in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), which accounts for the bulk of the world's second largest tropical rainforest. The researchers...
