Advanced transoceanic satellite systems
Abstract
The characteristics and capabilities of the Orion satellite system are described. The system is a user-based satellite design with broadband and high-volume transmission capabilities for data communications and video needs. The advantages of a user-based system are discussed. The power amplifiers, transistor elements, earth stations, and uplink and downlink of the Orion system are examined.
