Digital Arrays
Introducing Digital Arrays
Ground Stations utilize ThinKom's Digital Array technology, which is modular and scalable, enabling custom tailoring to each application. Each subsystem within a digital array consists of three modules: the antenna, the digital beamformer, and the modem.
Beamformer
The beam forming module is the brain of the digital array. It works by coherently combining all the independently controlled antenna modules within a mesh network.
Modem
The modem acts as a translator
Antenna Module
The antenna modules use ThinKom's Ultra true time delay (TTD) phased array technology, which enables agile beam steering, switchable polarization, and extremely wide channel/instantaneous bandwidth by eliminating frequency-dependent beam-walk.
Mounting Frame
The frame varies from application to application, enabling the digital array to scale up or down according to situational needs.

Core Technology
Technology Overview
Each array is configured with at least one digital beamformer. As the brains of the entire system, it digitally combines the signals from multiple antenna modules to form any number of beams.
