Abstract
After a short review of the evolution of satellite communications in the Federal Republic of Germany the European Communications Satellite ECS and the German/French broadcasting satellites TV-SAT D3/TDF-1 F3 are presented in order to illustrate the German participation in European communications satellite development. The state of the transponder technology, i.e. of the amplifier, mixer, filter and MIC technology is described. Future-oriented development work on solid-state transmit amplifiers, on-board regenerative equipments, 30/20-GHz-equipments and large infurlable antennas is also dealt with.
