Abstract
AbstractThis paper proposes the system concept of a personal satellite communications system that will be available in the first decade of the 21st century. Technologies of millimetre‐wave bands and an onboard processor with baseband switching promise to meet the requirements of a personal communications system: portability, low‐cost, and large capacity. Based on the prospects of these technologies, the most likely parameters for the future personal satellite communications system and the configuration of a suitable on‐board processor are proposed. A trial model of such an on‐board processor has been made. In this paper, details of the trial model on‐board processor and its future developments are described.
