Abstract
There is current interest in determining the capabilities and costs of a new mobilesatellite service (MSS) system that would serve the United States Government in a military or civil capacity. This MSS system would provide a communications link between remotely located personnel and their commanders. The amount and frequency range of radio frequency (RF) spectrum for the mobile user link of such a service is a design component that will significantly impact these capabilities and costs. Several factors affect the MSS system designer’s choice of the amount and frequency range of spectrum to use. This paper examines the spectrum options for the mobile user link of a new U.S. Government MSS system by considering the regulations, RF propagation properties, and existing use of spectrum bands.
