Abstract :
The provision of a portable C-band terminal communicating with large hub stations through an 18 MHz band of INTELSAT V transponders is investigated. The considered multiple hub network with distributed control can support up to 18 2.4 kbit/s simultaneously active users equipped with 0.8 m antennas at remote sites. The inbound and outbound carriers are spread by an appropriate factor for meeting CCIR recommendations on off-axis emission and interference to other satellite systems. Link budget tables are provided and implementation considerations are addressed
