Land-mobile communications satellite system design
Abstract
Satellite system designs capable of providing land-mobile satellite service to a population of 350,000 radio-telephone subcribers are considered. The problems discussed include frequency allocation, modulation, system sizing, carrier assignment, satellite/gateway links, satellite-link design, and mobile unit antenna design. Data on link noise allocation and satellite-to-mobile and mobile-to-satellite link budgets are presented. A satellite description is briefly given, and the feed-cluster approach to beam formation is summarized. Economic aspects and alternate system designs are also addressed.
