Abstract :
Future High throughput Satellite (HTS) systems, able to support hundreds of gigabit/s or terabit/s connectivity, will require a very large bandwidth availability; this pushes towards the exploitation of the so-called “beyond Ka-band” systems. In particular the use of the Q/V frequency band is foreseen. This paper presents the most important features of the TDP#5 (Technology Demonstration Payload 5) scientific mission that will provide us the opportunity to perform, for the first time, a communication scientific experiment over a Q/V band satellite link.
