Petersburg Electrotechnical University “LETI” have developed a 5G antenna to provide satellite communications to the Arctic regions. This is St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University “LETI” also reported to socialbites.ca.
Satellite communication is widely used in areas where there is no cellular coverage or where such infrastructure is expensive to build and maintain, for example in the Arctic region and the Far East. The developed antenna will help to provide high quality television and internet access to these areas.
“Due to the effective technical characteristics, ease of transportation and convenience, such satellite dishes can be used to provide high-quality communications, television and Internet access to remote settlements in the Far North of Russia,” said the Deputy Head of the Theoretical Department. Fundamentals of Radio Engineering for Scientific Research told socialbites.ca. about the work of St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University “LETI” Lyubina Lyubina.
The antenna has several advantages over the traditional parabolic reflector (“dish”). Therefore, it is produced using printed circuit board manufacturing technology. This makes the reflector flat, making it easy to fold.
The developed device is technologically advanced enough to go into mass production. In addition, the “LETI” antenna developed at ETU can be easily adapted according to the demand of rescue or security organizations operating on specially allocated frequencies.
