Objectives
View of the Ka Band harness of a multispot payload
Context:
RF harness for Ka-band multiple beams payload:
– Very high level of complexity
– 30% of total payload mass
– Up to 20% of payload cost.
Changes are mandatory regarding WG manufacturing , control and support due to the size decrease in Ka band.
Challenges
To evaluates or qualify new technologies or parts used in RF harness.
These new technologies or parts have to cope with many constraints
These new technologies or parts are in competition with very long heritage current ones.
Plan
The KHARE activities are organized as follows:
Current Status
Study completed.
