A multibeam, spherical-reflector satellite antenna for the 20-and 30-GHz bands. A multibeam antenna for satellite communication affords reuse of frequency allocations and flexibility in traffic routing. A multibeam satellite antenna is described that employs a spheroidal reflector in a compact periscope design. The aperture is 1. 5 meters in diameter radiating six beams in the 20-and 30-GHz satellite frequency bands. Electrical measurements indicate that this antenna is suitable for multibeam satellite use. 2, record 1, English, - spherical%20reflector%20satellite

Dans les réseaux cellulaires de radiocommunication avec les mobiles, les mêmes bandes de fréquences sont employées dans des cellules suffisamment éloignées. Dans les radiocommunications spatiales, on emploie, par exemple, des polarisations orthogonales, la séparation angulaire de faisceaux étroits, ou l'espacement de plusieurs satellites au voisinage d'une même position orbitale. 3, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9utilisation%20des%20fr%C3%A9quences

The signal is filtered after the correlator so that the interfering signals are reduced by the ratio of the bandwidth before and after the correlator. This signal improvement is called the processing gain and is a major factor in determining the CDMA [code division multiple access] digital cellular system capacity. Other important parameters are the... efficiency of frequency reuse, number of cell sectors, and voice duty cycle. 2, record 3, English, - voice%20duty%20cycle

The creation of narrow satellite beams permits not only the effective use of satellite power, but also allows the reuse of the frequency band and provides a means of overcoming the self-interference limit in CDMA.... Today's mobile satellites have onboard processors which connect an uplink band to a downlink beam. Processors use A/D conversion and digital filtering. The A/D converters quantize the signal and produce quantisation noise. The combined signal to quantization noise ratio is(N/C) q=(L2-1)/p2pa. 2, record 4, English, - signal%2Dto%2Dquantization%20noise

An antenna capable of producing multiple beams in order to provide either space diversity, polarization diversity or variable-shaped beams. 2, record 5, English, - multibeam%20antenna
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 OBS
In satellite communications, space diversity allows for users geographically separated to reuse the same frequency band by accessing the satellite through a different antenna beam; polarization diversity allows the same frequency band to be reused by employing orthogonal polarizations. In a variable-shaped multibeam antenna, the beams are interconnected to a single common part. A receive-only earth station antenna may also be a multibeam antenna in order to accommodate satellites in the orbital arc. 2, record 5, English, - multibeam%20antenna
