Overview of Anik D satellite and services
Abstract
The Anik D series of satellites provide a continuity of Telesat's Canada coverage services in the 6/4 GHz bands. A substantial increase in RF channel capacity is available through re-use of the frequency spectrum on orthogonally polarized channels. This paper covers the major new features of the Anik D satellites and illustrates their versatility through a review of the current and planned Telesat services in this frequency band.
