Abstract: A multi-constellation transceiver, a satellite terminal containing the same, and a method using the same are disclosed. In some embodiments, the satellite terminal includes an antenna, a common port coupled to the antenna, and a plurality of modems to be switched into and out of use in real-time, via software commands, to allow transitioning between networks via software commands, each of the modems associated with a different satellite constellation. The satellite terminal also includes a multi-constellation transceiver, communicably coupled to the antenna via the common port and to the plurality of modems, to route signals between the antenna and individual modems of the plurality of modems.

Abstract: An antenna transceiver architecture for a modular metasurface antenna and method for using the same are disclosed. In some embodiments, the antenna architecture includes a plurality of metasurface antenna tiles, where each metasurface antenna tile of the plurality of metasurface antenna tiles having one or more feed ports individually fed when in operation to support one or more independent beams, and wherein the plurality of metasurface antenna tiles comprise a plurality of sub-arrays of metasurface antenna tiles. In some embodiments, the antenna architecture also includes a plurality of digital back ends (DBEs) coupled to the plurality of metasurface antenna tiles, where each DBE is operable to: adjust time delays of one or more of received signals arriving from metasurface antenna tiles of the one sub-array of metasurface antenna tiles as part of time delay beamforming and combine the received signals in a digital domain to produce one or more beamformed signals, and delay transmit signals fed to the plurality of tiles in the digital domain by adjusting time delays of one or more of the transmit signals as part of time delay beamforming.
