DESCRIPTION:Failure of the communication subsystem has been responsible for
  approximately 20% of small satellite mission failures over the period bet
 ween 2000 and 2019. Insufficient system-level integration and testing has 
 been cited as one reason why corrective actions weren’t taken to prevent
  such failures before launch. The dynamic channel emulator presented here 
 will permit designers of CubeSats operating at frequencies up to 20 GHz to
  evaluate their spacecraft’s communications subsystem over multiple simu
 lated passes with the spacecraft in as close to flight condition as possib
 le including fully deployed antennas. It will confirm that the communicati
 ons subsystem will function correctly while experiencing: 1) path loss and
  Doppler shift\, 2) random fading due to satellite motion or rain fading\,
  and 3) noise\, interference\, or scintillation that perfectly matches wha
 t would be experienced during actual passes\,\n\nSpeaker(s): David Michels
