Communication Mission Requirements, Evolution of Current HTS Payload Architectures,
HTS System Analysis
April 2021 -- London -- Artech House today announced the publication
High-Throughput
Satellites, by Hector Fenech. This exciting new book discusses the motivation
for the evolution of a new breed of High Throughput Satellites (HTS) that have emerged
from traditional communications satellites. It explores the commercial sectors and
technical context that have shaped HTS. The historical underpinnings of HTS are
provided to highlight the requirements that dimension these satellites. A survey
of operational GEO HTS systems is also included. Readers will understand the technical,
operational and commercial context of HTS systems, as well as the performance of
the current HTS system.
This initial breed of satellites was limited to geostationary satellites, but
it is quickly projecting into low earth orbit (LEO) constellations, often referred
to as mega-constellations. The industrial and operational facets of LEO constellations
are challenging. The characteristics of GEO and LEO systems are presented to understand
the differences between the two systems. The book also explores the evolution of
the current HTS payload architectures, as well as theoretical methodology is presented
for the capacity estimation for both the FORWARD link and RETURN link, which can
be used for preliminary HTS dimensioning and can be adapted to practical scenarios.
High-Throughput Satellites is available now from Artech House, a leading publisher
of books for professionals in high-technology industries.
