Abstract

"SISTEMA E MéTODO DE RETRANSMISSãO PARA COMUNICAçõES". Revela-se um sistema para comunicações utilizando uma aeronave de grande atitude deslocando-se em velocidades relativamente baixas, que pode permanecer em vóo durante,longos períodos de tempo. O sistema para comunicações utiliza uma aeronave como uma plataforma de grande altitude a longo prazo que retransmite sinais entre uma ou mais estações terrestres e/ou satélites, aeronave, e similares. As estações terrestres apresentam antenas de feixe estreito que são direcionáveis, permitindo que a aeronave mantenha um posicionamento de maior dimensão do que aquele que seria possível utilizando as antenas de feixe estreito. As estações terrestres ajustam seu direcionamento com base nas informações adquiridas através do rastreamento do sinal da aeronave, ou transmitidas pela aeronave para a estação terrestre."RETRANSMISSION COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD". A system for communications using a large attitude aircraft traveling at relatively low speeds is revealed which can remain in flight for long periods of time. The communications system uses an aircraft as a long-term high altitude platform that relays signals between one or more ground and / or satellite stations, aircraft, and the like. Ground stations have narrow beam antennas that are steerable, allowing the aircraft to maintain a larger positioning than would be possible using narrow beam antennas. Ground stations adjust their direction based on information acquired by tracking the aircraft signal, or transmitted by the aircraft to the ground station.
