Millimeter-wave band RF system of the kashima main station for the comets advanced mobile satellite communications experiments

摘要

The communications and broadcasting engineering test satellite (COMETS) has an advanced mobile satellite communications equipment (MCE) that uses millimeter-wave band. To use this equipment for satellite communications experiments, we constructed a millimeter-wve earth station in the Kashima Space Research Center. This station has equipment such as antennas, transmitters, receivers and calibraters.
