TDMA reference, monitoring and control functions in the European Telecommunications Satellite system
Abstract
An overview is given in this paper of the Eutelsat TDMA System which will use seven transponders on one of the European Communications Satellites (ECS). The design of the functions of the two TDMA Reference and Monitoring Stations (TRMSs) and of the Communications System Control Center (CSC) are described, and the differences in the design of the reference terminal compared to that in the Intelsat TDMA System are emphasized. Finally, the way in which the TRMSs and the CSC have been implemented is outlined.
