Land mobile communications in Ku-band - Results of a test campaign on Eutelsat I-F1
Abstract
This paper discusses the results of technical tests on land mobile communications conducted in June and July 1989 in Europe using a Eutelsat satellite. The land-mobile communication system under test was that already operated by QUALCOMM in the U.S. under the registered name OmniTRACS. The aim of the field trial was to evaluate the technical characteristics of the system and test its performance in different operating conditions. The results establish the relationship between transmission performance (i.e. essentially the required number of transmission attempts in order to get a message through the communication channel), and the environment of the land mobile, the satellite transponder's mode of operations and the interference conditions.
