Abstract
This paper describes a conceptual system design for a satellite-based aeronautical safety communications system capable of serving both general aviation (GA) aircraft and commercial aviation (CA) aircraft in the contiguous U.S. (CONUS) in the mid-1990s. Serving such a large number of aircraft requires a large system capacity. This paper describes how a large capacity can be obtained using a 15-m deployable antenna on board a high-power commercial communications satellite expected to be available in the mid- 1990 time frame.
