Performance evaluation of a satellite-linked experimental network
Abstract
The objectives and results of an evaluation of the performance of a U.S. Public Health Service network consisting of small earth terminals linked via the Communications Technology Satellite are documented. The main objective of the evaluation was to assess the technical performance of the network in terms of channel quality, system availability, and equipment maintainability. In addition, its capability for broad geographical coverage, channel sharing, and digital transmission was also evaluated.
