Description
ABSTRACT: The objective of this effort is to develop an interface between a scintillation simulator and a communications terminal that will enable Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) satellite testing. BENEFIT: Welkin Sciences has experience with fading channel simulator design, having developed and certified the Configurable Link Test Set (CoLTS,) Wideband Channel Simulator (WCS,) and the current project MILSATCOM Atmospheric Scintillation Scintillator(MASS). This device simulates the effects of radio frequency propagated through an ionosphere disturbed by nuclear detonations. However, to be used in system level satellite tests, rather than modem only tests, the scintillation transceiver must be able to interface with an operational terminal. For the AEHF MOT & E, the communications terminal of interest is SMART-T, Secure Mobile Anti-jam Reliable Tactical Terminal.
