Space-based antenna measurement system concepts for space station operation
Abstract
The capability to make functional checks of communications satellites in low Earth orbit before boost to geosynchronous orbit as well as other near term radio frequency applications is discussed. On orbit measurement capability for the multitude of antennas and microwave systems for future space station operations is also discussed. Examples of radio frequency systems requirements for on orbit measurement capability are presented.
