Abstract
In some implementations, a satellite may include a software-defined radio (SDR), antenna circuits, and front-end circuits. Each antenna circuit may include a first antenna and a second antenna. Each front-end circuit may be coupled between the SDR and one of the plurality of antenna circuits and may include a transmit path, a first receive path, and a second receive path. The transmit path may include an input coupled to an output of the radio and an output selectively coupled to the first antenna for ISL and TT&C transmissions. The first path includes an input to couple to the first antenna and an output to couple to the radio. The second path includes an input coupled to the second antenna and an output to couple to the radio. The front-end circuit may selectively enable one of the first or second receive paths for ISL or TT&C communications.
