MULTIBEAM COMMUNICATION SATELLITE ON WHICH, ON THE LINK BETWEEN THE SATELLITE AND A GATEWAY STATION, A UNIQUE FREQUENCY IS ALLOCATED TO A MOBILE TERMINAL INDEPENDENTLY OF THE BEAM ON WHICH THE TERMINAL IS LOCATED.

摘要

A multibeam telecommunication satellite (22) comprising a reconfigurable payload, at least one anchor spot access (221) and a plurality of user spot accesses (222) in which, for a given mobile terminal (23), said anchor spot access is associated with a single frequency channel (250) and said user spot accesses are each associated with a frequency channel, and wherein the payload comprises at least one routing module configured to dynamically route the user Anchor spot access associated with the anchoring station (21) and vice versa depending on the position of the mobile terminal and a transposition module configured to frequency transpose the microwave signals from the user's spot access to the frequency associated with the frequency channel of the mobile terminal. access anchor spot and vice versa, the transposition of signals for a given mobile terminal is always done to the same frequency.
