The RF Payload Systems Division (TEC-ET)
Welcome to the external pages of RF Payload Systems Division (TEC-ET)
The RF Payload Systems Division is part of Electrical Engineering Department (TEC-E)
and of Technical and Quality and Management Directorate (TEC).
Herewith you can find both a short description of the division and a list of useful links.
The RF Payload Systems Division is responsible for space instrumentation
and communication systems, subsystems, equipment and technologies
which cover the following domains:
|
Communication systems and subsystems design and validation; |
|
Systems for TT&C communication, navigation,
remote sensing and scientific applications; |
|
Satellite payloads (e.g. repeaters for telecommunications or
navigation instruments, earth remote sensing instruments for scientific applications); |
|
Microwave and millimetre wave equipment and technologies; |
|
Complex on-board payloads for communications
and remote sensing, and processing core of such systems, including
optically based implementations; |
|
Systems testing for performance evaluation or
validation; |
|
Laboratories to test/proof concepts soundness and
validation. |
The expertise of the Division is essentially used for:
|
Preparation and implementation of various ESA
R&D programmes; |
|
Support to ESA projects; |
|
Consultancy to Industry from member states; |
|
Training and supervision of students, graduates,
research fellows. |
The Division consists of four sections and the
divisional laboratories.
They are:
1) Communication - TT&C systems and
techniques
2) Microwave and milllimetre
wave
3) Payload engineering
4) Radionavigation systems and
techniques
5) Laboratories
6) Staff Publications
