Satellite communication system which concurrently transmits a scanning spot beam and a plurality of fixed spot beams

摘要: The present invention relates to a satellite communication system which uses separate up-link and down-link fixed spot beam for with each of plurality of, example, spaced-apart high traffic demand ground areas an scanning low on time division multiple access (TDMA) basis. More particularly, repeater is disclosed accomplishing the switching signals concurrently received via beams appropriate beams. Additionally, transmission format efficient station while still providing minimal buffering demands areas.
