Papers are expected to cover all the different technical and technological elements related to the implementation of future flexible telecom payload/systems. In particular, the following is a non exhaustive list of possible topics:

  • Systems, applications and operators’ needs of flexible/generic payloads
  • Flexible Payload/System architectures
  • Payload flexibility for dual-use and hosted payloads applications
  • Flexibility for interference management
  • Flexible Payload/System analysis, simulation and optimization tools
  • Flexible RF power generation and output sections (e.g. flex-TWTA,Multiport Amplifiers, ...)
  • Reconfigurable antennas (active and passive)
  • Digital on board processors and related technologies
  • Tunable frequency converters
  • Analogue (including optical) processor equipment and technologies
  • RF Switches and Switching Matrices
  • Others
