Lessons

Lesson 1 - What Is 5G NTN?

Introduces the concept of 5G non-terrestrial networks (NTN), which are networks that use satellites, drones, or balloons to provide wireless connectivity. It explains the benefits and challenges of 5G NTN, such as global coverage, low latency, high throughput, and spectrum sharing. It also gives an overview of the 3GPP standards and use cases for 5G NTN.

Lesson 2 - Choosing an Architecture

Compares and contrasts the three main architectures for 5G NTN: direct access, indirect access, and hybrid access. It discusses the pros and cons of each architecture in terms of complexity, performance, interoperability, and security. It also provides some examples of how each architecture can be implemented in different scenarios.

Satellite Mission Assurance with Keysight Technologies

As the space industry experiences disruption not seen since the original space race, numerous companies are gearing up to provide space-based capabilities with new risk profiles, increased volumes, and decreased costs. Established businesses are adapting to take advantage of these opportunities. Whether it is high-throughput satellite (HTS) microwave payloads or telemetry, tracking, and control (TT&C), Keysight’s design and validation tools provide greater assurance that your satellite and its subsystems work the duration of the mission.
