1. Considered system
This section describes a telecommunications system based on a network of satellites and the role of an active antenna on each satellite.
1.1 System overview
Typical telecommunications constellation programs deliver global connectivity through a network of interconnected, internally redundant satellites supported by a comprehensive ground segment. This ground segment comprises all necessary infrastructure to control the satellite fleet and interface end users with external communication networks, such as the Internet.
A constellation generally of a defined number of satellites deployed at a specific altitude, arranged in multiple orbital planes. Each plane hosts a set of operational (nominal) satellites. Spare units may be positioned...
