Abstract :
Three different ground terminal transmit power control concepts for a Satcom system are examined. The effectiveness of constant satellite power (CSP) sharing among the carriers and adaptive satellite power (ASP) sharing is compared with constant ground terminal transmit power (CTP). It is shown that ASP offers substantial advantages over CSP in combating environmental degradations and that both can increase link availability with respect to the constant power (CTP) case. The effectiveness of the ASP control technique is shown to depend on the interconnectivity of the network if multidestinational carriers are used. The measurements required for system control, as well as their accuracies, are described.
