Abstract :
The S-UMTS processor key technologies demonstrator (built under ESA contract 16024/02/NL/JA) is a digital signal processor (DSP) prototype demonstrating a number of architectures and technologies relevant to the next generation of mobile missions. An advanced testbed capable of simulating a variety of antenna types has been constructed. Two beamforming techniques are implemented and preliminary test results are presented.
