120-Mbit/s TDMA test bed
Abstract
A 120-Mbit/s time-division multiple-access (TDMA) test bed is being developed by INTELSAT to facilitate the testing and evaluation of TDMA operation in an INTELSAT V environment, as well as the testing of new related subsystems such as high-speed forward error correction (FEC), TDMA system synchronization and switchover in spatially diverse earth stations, satellite switched TDMA (SS-TDMA) system operation, and new modem design. This paper briefly describes the design and performance of the TDMA test bed.
