Abstract :
It is pointed out that the Advanced Communication Technologies Satellite (ACTS) possesses unique technologies and features that will enable a host of proof-of-concept experiments which will demonstrate a variety of mobile applications. The authors identify the challenges facing Ka-band mobile satellite terminals and systems. They also identify the key ACTS technologies needed in support of their development and field characterization. They provide an overview of the land-mobile and aeronautical terminal technologies and system concepts under development and the ACTS experiments being planned for their demonstration
