The 16th Central Research and Testing Institute of the Russian Ministry of Defense has received a patent for a stationary hardware complex for monitoring the security of satellite communication lines. The invention is designed to detect security breaches in the operation of both existing and newly created satellite systems.
The hardware is equipped with an antenna-receiving complex, which includes antenna posts for receiving signals in the VHF, L, C, X, and Ku bands. The complex includes separate antenna systems for receiving signals from spacecraft in highly elliptical and geostationary orbits. Each antenna post is equipped with an antenna-feeder device, low-noise amplifiers, and a pointing system.
For signal processing, the hardware provides transmission paths for all bands and a reception, processing, and control point. It includes an antenna switch, multi-channel signal reception and processing units, a broadband unit, as well as five automated operator workstations, a data recording and storage server, and a speech processing complex.
The patent notes that the development expands the functionality of remote monitoring of various types of satellite communication lines and allows for technical control of signals with different types of carrier frequency modulation.
