Technical Consideration of Small Fixed,Mobile,and Transportable Satellite Systems.

摘要

The potential impact of current rules and regulations on the implementation of small earth terminals in the satellite services was investigated. This investigation shows that the current ITU, OTP,and FCC regulations do not adequately consider the technical and operational factors unique to the fixed,the mobile and the transportable earth terminals with small aperture antennas. The report has identified the main areas in the current regulations and the technical characteristics associated with small earth terminals which might inhibit the introduction of such systems in the satellite services. The report recommends that follow-on tasks are required to develop special sharing criteria for small earth terminals in order to ensure the efficient use of the available orbit-spectrum resource.
