Abstract
The scientific mission DAVID (Data and Video Interactive Distribution) of the Italian Space Agency will pioneer the use of the W-band for a challenging telecommunications experiment. The unavailability of channel measurements and the technological limitations in that frequency range imply a system assessment based on channel extrapolation and a wise error control strategy. In that frame, the paper proposes a system approach that will allow the exploitation of the W-band for high capacity satellite communications. The results obtained through that approach in the assessment of the DAVID 94.5 GHz experiment are provided and their perspectives identified and commented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
