Satellite system design considerations affecting orbit utilization
Abstract
The increasing number of geostationary satellite systems in operation has created a sensitivity to the potential for intersystem interference in the desired 4 and 6 GHz frequency bands. This potential orbital crowding demands efficient use of the orbital arc to make the most of the finite frequency spectrum resources. The paper addresses the background of the key intersystem interference issues, with special emphasis on an analysis of the proposed regulations. Some additional proposals are discussed which should lead to improved orbital utilization without affecting the orderly development of improved technologies.
