Operational Model AND TEST BED OF THE ELSA+ RECONFIGURABLE ANTENA WITH geolocation (QUANTUM OM&TB)

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Multi-regional Spain - ERDF (2014ES16RFOP002), managing authority: Subdirección General de Gestión del FEDER, de la Dirección General de Fondos Europeos del Ministerio de Hacienda.. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Spain. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 3,285,113; EU co-financing EUR 1,642,556.5 (co-financing rate 50%), as stated by the source. Runs 2015-11-04 to 2018-07-31.

Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): The objective of the project is to develop the operational model and test benches to enable verifications of the advanced functions defined on the manufactured HW, and the verification of HW itself. The advanced functionalities of this product type are: • Independent generation and control of multiple bundles • Ground geolocation of emitters (authorised and unauthorised) • Generating isolation or interference mitigation areas • Beam-hopping (multiplexing over time of one or more of the beams Verification of the HW requires testing in the different operating modes and HW control during them. several of the required tests involve the development of new techniques or new test standards The operational model (OM) consists of the SW tools of the advanced functions of synthesis, detection, mitigation and Beam-Hopping, together with the emulators that allow the prediction of presentations based on the characterisation of the H/W. The predictive tools are necessary in phase of production as in operation The Test Bed (TB) consists of the test and test benches necessary to characterise the H/W and the associated procedures . The establishment of appropriate and reliable test benches is necessary in order to be able to address a recurrent production of the unit.
