Abstract
Geostationary satellite networks, by their nature, operate in an interference environment. Engineering for an interference limited environment requires that earth station antennas be designed to minimize interference. To increase the efficiency of utilization of the satellite orbit significantly, the FCC has revised the antenna performance standards for transmitting antennas, more particularly in the first 9.20 from the main axis in the plane of the geostationary satellite orbit. These new FCC requirements are discussed in some detail.
