Title
A new millimetre wave satellite system for land mobile communications
Abstract
Cellular systems are gaining wide acceptance. In Europe the GSM system is expected to provide service to more than 10 million users by the year 2000. Assuming that a demand for additional services at 64 kbit/s or so will not easily be satisfied either by the present GSM system or by advanced satellite systems at L-band, this paper proposes a new satellite system at EHF (40/50 GHz) to be integrated at the end of the decade with the GSM system or its descendants. First, the paper describes the main obstacles for the new system, in terms of channel characteristics and technology developments, and then illustrates a preliminary system design to show the technical feasibility in the proposed ten years time scale.
