An Automated Satellite Carrier Monitoring System
Abstract
The Automated Satellite Carrier Monitoring System (SCMS) monitors major carrier transmission parameters of the Westar system and records deviations in these parameters. It also provides the capability of measuring the satellite transponder performance parameters. The major subsystems and features of the SCMS system are described, and the measurement, monitoring, and accuracy validation techniques are examined. Finally, the Westar system channel transmission parameters measured using the SCMS are given.
