Reduction in inhomogeneity within the fixed satellite service frequency bands
Abstract
While maximizing the information throughput of the geostationary satellite orbit is an idealized objective, in practice this is equivalent to maximizing the number of satellites by minimizing the satellite spacing. Inhomogeneities exist within and among satellite networks which increase the spacing requirements. Dominant factors include earth station and satellite antenna gains and the RF signal spectral properties. Frequency dependent access planning along with limitations on up-path and down-path emission levels and sensitivities can be employed to reduce inter-satellite network inhomogenity, thus allowing closer satellite spacing.
