EIVE [University of Stuttgart]
EIVE (Exploratory In-Orbit Verification of an E/W-Band Satellite Communication Link) is a German 6U CubeSat of the IRS (Institut f�r Raumfahrtsysteme) at the University of Stuttgart, Germany.
The aim is to establish broadband data transmission over greater distances in order to achieve a global time- and location-independent supply of fast internet. The researchers equipped EIVE with technologies that enable it to transmit the E-band, a frequency range that has yet to be explored in great depth. EIVE is one of the first projects in the world to test such a communications space to ground link with a range of different modulation types and data rates in the E-band at 71�76 GHz. The results obtained will form the basis for future communications satellites.
