The 26th Ka and Broadband Communications Conference will be held jointly with the 38th International Communications Satellite Systems Conference (ICSSC).
The 26th Ka Conference technical sessions and panels will focus on ”Interoperable Communications & Navigation Systems for Earth & Space – the Challenges”.
The conference will look at the evolution and interoperability of telecommunication, navigation and Earth observation satellite systems; constellation and small satellite systems evolution; optical and quantum communications; extension of the 5G network to near Earth, lunar, and deep space environments; the latest results in propagation research at Ka, Q/V and higher bands; navigation; vehicle autonomy and human exploration; wideband data backhaul from scientific and remote sensing; and the challenges of spectrum interference and orbital debris mitigation and control.
