Satellite-switched time-domain multiple access
Abstract
Three key elements of the SS-TDMA system have been discussed. For the microwave switch matrix various types of redundancy have been presented and evaluated. The distribution control unit, consisting of a small number of MOS/LSI chips, will be able to achieve the reliability objective with small weight and power consumption. The frame synchronization techniques have also been categorized and evaluated. A capacity comparison of SS-TDMA and FDMA/TDMA satellites shows an increase of over 30 percent in available capacity through the adoption of the SS-TDMA system.
