Abstract

Advances and improvements in microwave technology enabled the rapid deployment of numerous communications satellite systems. Various satellite systems such as: fixed satellite systems (FSS), direct broadcasting satellite (DBS), digital audio radio service (DARS), mobile satellite systems (MSS), broadband, and weather monitoring systems are described with a special emphasis on microwave subsystems and components. The requirements and performance of these important satellite elements are discussed. Essential developments in microwave technologies for future satellite systems are outlined.
