01 · THE PROBLEM
What this project addresses
Inter-satellite optical terminals must maintain a narrow optical link while recovering data under small alignment errors and platform motion.
02 · THE IDEA
System concept
Use one integrated optical receiver concept to support communication detection and fine tracking without treating the two functions as isolated subsystems.
03 · TECHNICAL APPROACH
How the research is structured
01Receiver and detector geometry
02Received-power distribution analysis
03Alignment-sensitivity evaluation
04Numerical optimization and validation
04 · KEY CONTRIBUTIONS
What the research contributes
- Integrated communication-and-tracking architecture
- Geometry-aware power analysis
- Fine-tracking sensitivity framework
05 · WHY IT MATTERS
Engineering relevance
The work is relevant to compact optical terminals that must coordinate acquisition, tracking and communication under strict mass, alignment and sensitivity constraints.
