Abstract:
This paper presents a new synchronization algorithm proposed to establish an inter-satellite link in a system with two satellites flying in tandem. The complete system is described, including both the master and the companion satellite. The proposed physical layer is a customization of the one from Long Term Evolution (LTE) telecommunications systems, based on the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technology with Time Division Duplexing (TDD) approach. The proposed synchronization algorithm uses two preamble-symbols per radio frame. Simulation results for different frequency deviations are provided.
