Earth station equipment development on 30/20 GHz Japanese CS systems
Abstract
The development of earth station hardware for the Japanese 30/20 GHz domestic communications satellite system is described. Attention is focused on the technical features of the antennas, low-noise amplifier (LNA), high-power amplifier, (HPA) and radio frequency terminal (RFT) for the system. Data are presented for the mechanical performance of the devices, and several photographs describing the main operational features of the instruments are provided.
