    Abstract: A process and apparatus are provided for controlling the alignment of a transmit laser beam (1a) of a first coherent detection optical communications transmitter/receiver terminal with a further coherent detection optical communications transmitter/receiver terminal relative to a receive laser beam (8). The first terminal incorporates a transmit laser beam generator (1) operable to form and pass the transmit beam (1a) through a point ahead mechanism (2) to a telescope assembly (6) operable to receive the receive laser beam (8). The apparatus includes a detector/receiver unit, means (3) for taking a component (1b) of the transmit laser beam (1a) from the transmit laser beam (1a) for receiving the receive laser beam (8) from the telescope assembly (6) and for feeding the transmit laser beam (8) to the detector/receiver unit (10), and means (16, 17, 18, 19, 20 ,21, 22, 23, 24) for detecting, separating and processing the received transmit laser beam component (1b) and received receive beam (8) at the detector/receiver unit (10) to provide signals indicative of the actual alignment of the transmit and receive beams (1a, 8), means (25) for comparing the actual alignment signals with desired alignment values to generate difference signals and means for operating the point ahead mechanism (2) in dependence upon the generated difference signals variably to control the alignment of the transmit beam (1a) relative to the receive beam (8).

    Abstract: A laser beam communication system for spacecraft in which each communication terminal comprises, for steering the beam projected from that terminal, four mirrors, each mounted on a mechanism capable of rotating the mirror about a constant defined axis. The mirrors and their attached mechanisms are arranged in pairs with one pair on either side of a magnifying telescope. All rotating joints in each mechanism are constructed using flexure pivots. Such a pointing element can provide both the range and accuracy required for an important class of free space laser links without introducing any extra friction into the pointing system.

    Abstract: A satellite antenna arrangement for a satellite communication system comprising: a reflector for producing a far field pattern with near-zero field strength at a predetermined location to reject unwanted signals from said predetermined location or minimise signal power transmitted to said predetermined location, the reflector having a surface comprising a stepped profile arranged to generate the near-zero field strength in the predetermined location. The stepped profile may comprise a radial step. The location of the near-zero field strength can be steered by moving the reflector or by adjusting the amplitude and phase of an additional beam that covers substantially the same region as the main beam reflected by the reflector.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an identification element having an integrated circuit and an antenna coil connected to the integrated circuit. The antenna coil comprises a lower conducting track and an upper conducting track. Each track includes a plurality of turns, with the two tracks being arranged on either side of a dielectric layer. The relative position of the two tracks is such that they overlap substantially only in one selected area or in two selected areas.
