Beamforming Algorithm of LEO Satellite Communication System by Haiwang WANG, Chenguang HUANG, Cheng ZOU, Fengwei SHAO, Jiachao CHANG, Guotong LI

“…The rapid development of broadband satellite internet has brought satellite communication into a new era.The establishment of large-scale low-orbit satellite constellations has gradually saturated spectrum resources, and the high overlap in frequency use has led to serious interference problems between satellite communication systems.Satellite payloads typically communicate using phased-array antennas, which reduce interference by beamforming at the receiving and transmitting ends.The adaptive beamforming algorithm was used at the receiving end to suppressed interference by adaptive zeroing; The low sidelobe beamforming algorithm was used at the transmitting end, which reduced the interference by imposing specifi c constraints on the sidelobes to suppressed the sidelobe level.Three anti-jamming beamforming algorithms were introduced for the ground receiving end and the satellite sending end respectively, which provided a beamlevel method for reduced the interference between satellite communication systems.…”

Trajectories of Vulnerability of Rural Territories in the Ecuadorian Andes: a Comparative Analysis by Nasser Rebaï, Julio A. Alvarado Vélez

“…While the peasant populations of the Ecuadorian Sierra have been marked by multiple constraints in their history, for thirty years, the liberal policies that aimed at the “modernization” of the primary sector of the economy in Ecuador have led to profound changes in the Andean regions. From fieldwork conducted in the provinces of Azuay, Cotopaxi and Chimborazo, during which interviews with institutional actors and surveys within family farms were carried out, it was highlighted that the disappearance of public agricultural services, the promotion of chemical pesticides and the development of mining have favored the disunity of the peasant groups. …”
