Up-coming M/W requirements for commercial-communications satellite systems
Abstract
Existing and planned commercial communications satellites are discussed along with questions related to the use of satellite earth stations. Earth station 4/6 GHz microwave requirements are examined, taking into account antennas, radio equipment, and trends regarding future developments. Next generation commercial communications satellites are considered and attention is given to multi-beam earth-station antennas, problems of propagation in the frequency range from 10 to 14 GHz, and aspects of interference.
