Satellite Communication System Using Rf Power Sharing For Multiple Feeds Or Beams In Downlinks

View page
US Patent:
6456824, Sep 24, 2002
Filed:
Sep 14, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/152331
Inventors:
Eric G Butte - Cupertino CA
Randall D Tyner - Mountain View CA
Assignee:
Space Systems/Loral, Inc. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
H04B 7185
US Classification:
455 121, 455 133, 455427, 455 20, 455 25, 455103, 4552342, 370316
Abstract:
A satellite communication system includes at least one spacecraft in geosynchronous orbit for providing a plurality of beams on the surface of the earth, and a plurality of ground stations individual ones of which are located in one of the beams for transmitting uplink signals to the spacecraft. The spacecraft has a plurality of receivers for receiving a plurality of the uplinked signals from ground stations, a frequency translator for translating the received uplink signals to a transmission frequency of a plurality of downlink signals, and a plurality of transmitters for transmitting the plurality of downlink signals within the same beams as the corresponding uplink signals. Each transmitter includes a combiner for combining together a plurality of frequency translated signals and a power amplifier, such as a TWTA, for amplifying the combined plurality of frequency translated signals. An analysis is performed of how many transponder channels can be combined and power amplified in a single TWTA, or multiple paralleled TWTAs, and a determination is then made as to which feeds and/or beams have low data traffic and low required downlink power that makes then suitable candidates for combining their feeds and/or beams into a linearly driven TWTA(s). A reverse output multiplexer is used to separate the combined feeds and/or beams to the separate individual downlinks after the RF power amplification.

US Patent:
6496682, Dec 17, 2002
Filed:
Sep 14, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/152555
Inventors:
Eric G Butte - Cupertino CA
Randall D Tyner - Mountain View CA
Assignee:
Space Systems/Loral, Inc. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
H04B 7185
US Classification:
455 121, 455 131, 455 133
Abstract:
A satellite communication system includes a plurality of spacecraft in geosynchronous orbit, where each spacecraft provides a plurality of beams on the surface of the earth, and a plurality of ground stations individual ones of which are located in one of the beams for transmitting uplink signals to one of the spacecraft. Each spacecraft has a plurality of receivers for receiving a plurality of the uplinked signals from ground stations, a frequency translator for translating the received uplink signals to a transmission frequency of a plurality of downlink signals, and a plurality of transmitters for transmitting the plurality of downlink signals within the same beams as the corresponding uplink signals. In accordance with the invention the beams have at least one of different sizes and shapes, including circular and elliptical, and are non-contiguous over a least a portion of the surface of the earth.

US Patent:
6397039, May 28, 2002
Filed:
Sep 14, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/152580
Inventors:
Eric G Butte - Cupertino CA
Randall D Tyner - Mountain View CA
Assignee:
Space Systems/Loral, Inc. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
H04Q 720
US Classification:
455 121, 455427, 455430
Abstract:
A satellite communication system includes a plurality of spacecraft in geosynchronous orbit, where each spacecraft provides a plurality of beams on the surface of the earth, and a plurality of ground stations individual ones of which are located in one of the beams for transmitting uplink signals to one of the spacecraft. Each spacecraft has a plurality of receivers for receiving a plurality of the uplinked signals from ground stations, a frequency translator for translating the received uplink signals to a transmission frequency of a plurality of downlink signals, and a plurality of transmitters for transmitting the plurality of downlink signals within the same beams as the corresponding uplink signals. Each transmitter includes a combiner for combining together a plurality of frequency translated signals and a power amplifier, such as a TWTA, for amplifying the combined plurality of frequency translated signals. Each of the plurality of receivers is gain controlled by a corresponding one of the ground stations for providing immunity to rain attenuation.
