Abstract

See full text

A communication platform (e.g., a flexible satellite) includes electrical to optical converters configured to convert input electrical signals to input optical signals, an optical switching network connected to the electrical to optical converters that choose which input optical signals to route to which output beams, tunable optical filters (connected to the switching network) that are configured to select programmable sub-bands of the input optical signals to create output optical signals, and optical to electrical converters (connected to the tunable optical filters) that are configured to convert the output optical signals to output electrical signals for the output beams.
