The International Communications Satellite Systems Conference (ICSSC)
is the oldest and one of the most influential technical conferences in
the field. The 37th edition was held from 29th October - 1st November
2019 in Okinawa, Japan. These proceedings present a broad spectrum of
space communications contributions from the conference, with highlights
including high speed optical communications and feeder links, advanced
digital payloads, broadband satellite communication architectures and
applications.
Subjects covered include integrated applications and architectures for
vessels and IoT; DTN and HTS technologies; new satellite system
architectures and components; high speed optical communications and
feeder links; advanced digital payloads and components; satellite
antenna technologies; propagation and modelling for satellite
communications; future technologies for 5G and beyond; flexible HTS
systems and advanced digital payloads; satellite networks design
challenges and applications; new satellite components and transmitter
and modem technologies; NGSO constellations and 5G integration; and NGSO
and GSO system issues and interference mitigation techniques.
Offering a wide range of expert perspectives on communications satellite
systems, these proceedings will be of interest to engineers and
researchers in academia and industry working on satellite, digital, and
wireless communications and networks, as well as advanced students,
policy makers and stakeholders in the field.
