The technical and economic considerations of bringing satellite communications to small mobile users
Abstract
The potential market presented by small users is considered and the characteristics of the present systems of communication satellites are reviewed. The satellite parameters of antenna gain and directivity and of bandwidth are then discussed and the operational considerations of the existing satellites are examined with reference to the requirements of the proposed small mobile users. The implications of economic tariffs are briefly touched upon.
