Future satellite networks will link space and ground assets via an optical network. This not only requires the development of existing technologies that enable optical links in space, but also addresses the challenges of switching high-speed data streams on board satellites.
The recent evolution of FPGA devices has led to a significant increase in high-speed transceiver throughput, making FPGAs a compelling option for implementing network switches in space. However, it remains unclear whether an FPGA-based switch can meet the requirements of future satellite networks. This thesis explores the trade-offs of different switch fabric architectures when considering FPGAs for future space missions.
