Abstract
Within the frame of the Sicral 2 Proposal for the next generation Italian MilSatCom, an innovative and advanced SHF Communication Payload has been designed, able to permit flexible SHF transparent Communication in both Space, Frequency and Power. This is obtained by embarking a Multi-Spot beam Antenna, a Digital Channeling Processor and an MPA HPA section. The interaction of all these three elements does permit to increase the flexibility of the outstanding SHF Communication System, based on existing Sicral 1 and Sicral 1b ground equipments.
