The goal of this paper is to describe the capabilities and application methods of Ka-band communication systems for small satellites indicating contributions to future advanced communication networks and Earth observations. This study is based on the actual experience on the design of the Ka-band high-speed communication system of the small satellite Flying Laptop, which is developed at the Institute of Space Systems of the Universität Stuttgart. The objectives of the Ka-band communication system is to demonstrate high-speed communications with a data rate of up to 500 Mbit/s as well as to conduct scientific Earth observations. Flying Laptop satellite is also equipped with a Ku-band signal transmitter. The attenuation of the two transmission signals in Ka-/Ku-bands are measured with ground stations to estimate the local precipitation rate. The mathematical background and operational scenario of this measurement is summarized. The received Ka-band transmission signal is measured in different meteorological conditions to identify attenuation characteristics of the Ka-band signal due to rain, clouds, trace gases and so forth, which is of great interest for utilization of Ka-band frequencies for future broadband communications.
