data, video, and voice communications for passengers communications and entertainment. The AES
communicates to the SAS through a satellite as shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1. Ka-Band System
A Modman is provided within the AES to enable two-way communications. The forward channel provides
a communication path from the SAS to the AES
. The return channel provides a communication path from
the AES to the SAS. The AES receives in the forward channel in K-band and transmits in the Ka-band.
The AES system provides the RF data link between the aircraft and the servicing satellite. An AES system
includes an antenna which is steered towards the servicing satellite by mechanical means. The
JetWave™ system operating frequency range is 29 to 30 GHz (TX, Ka-band) and 19.2 to 20.2 GHz (RX,
K-band).
A. JetWave™ System LRUs
