Abstract

The article discusses an innovative method of data transmission between a satellite and the Earth. The authors suggest using a distributed network of ground stations, which simultaneously receive data from the satellite. The article presents new solutions, which allow improving the quality of receiving channel in comparison to an antenna array. Subsequently, a proposed realization of Distributed Ground Station System with description of transmission protocols, data transmission and storage, authorization system and devices and operators communication is shown. This network is a part of PW-Sat satellite project [5], developed by the students of Warsaw University of Technology.
