Abstract(in English) A high-speed downlink communication system is required to meet various applications for nano/small satellites. Therefore, it is essential to implement a transmitter with small weight and power in such satellites. Our recent research has focused on an efficient system with the compact transmitter incorporating a powerful error correction on ground station receiver. Generally, an operation at nonlinear region of RF power amplifier provides a RF power amplifier with high energy efficiency. However, an amplitude-phase modulation, which is an efficient scheme in term of frequency band, requires high linearity. GaN-HEMT SSPA, which has high efficiency and linearity, and Digital-pre-distortion can provide better answer. Also, I'm developing a new measurement method to evaluate Pas and transmitter systems. We will demonstrate a high-speed down link communication system in "Hodoyoshi-4" satellite.
