Abstract

This reportdescribesa circuit-switching architecture fora 30/20-GHz frequencydivision, multiple-access uplink/time-divisionmultiplexeddownlink (FDMA/TDM) geostationary satellite communications network.Critical subsystems and problem areas are identified and addressed.Work was concentratedprimarilyon the space segment; however, the ground segment was considered concurrentlyto ensurecost efficiency and realistic operationalconstraints.
