摘要
Over the next decade,Very High-Throughput Satellite (VHTS) will bring enough capacity to serve high speed internet and in-flight connectivity markets at scale,offering fiber-like services both in terms of price and speed.In this context,a generic VHTS mission utilizing Q/V-band feeder links and Ka-band user links is described.However,the rain attenuation on the feeder links becomes a limiting issue because of the higher frequencies.Toward this,an exploitation of multiple gateways (GWs) as a transmit diversity measure for overcoming severe propagation effects are being considered.Ground Application System (GAS) design of VHTS is illustrated including N+P GWs (N active and P redundant GWs) diversity,frequency plan,link budget and system capacity.
