44/20 GHz Ground Terminal.

Abstract

The design and construction of an EHF SATCOM terminal to transmit in the mobile satellite (43.5 - 45.5) GHz band and receive in the fixed satellite space to earth (20.2 - 21.2) GHz band is described. Characterization plots for individual RF system components and test results of the complete terminal operating over a 16 km repeater range are shown. Keywords: Spread spectrum, Digital satellite communications, EHF satellites, Frequency hopping, and Experimental satcom.
