Abstract
Present and future communication requirements establish
the need for a high data rate satellite to satellite
trunking system. The advent of the CW laser systems and
transmitting sources at 60 GHz offer a "new" and wide
electromagnetic spectrum for use in space telecommunications.
The fundamental objective of this study is to
provide the systems designer and the communication system
user with reference data, supplemental data, and a trade-off
methodology for selecting the system (EHF or laser) which
best suits their requirements. Special treatment is given
to the determination of signal-to-noise ratios in the
evaluation of optical and millimeter wave heterodyne systems.
