AUTONOMOUS GROUND STATION FOR SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / Employment of the retro-directive technique described in Reference 1 describes a totally
Autonomous Ground Station providing hemispheric coverage and continuous tracking.
This System establishes communications between the satellite and ground station without
human intervention or moving parts. When a satellite is in view, the ground station
beacon antenna, using CDMA, enables the desired satellite transmitter and directs its
beam to the ground station. The ground station, using the satellite’s transmitted signal,
directs it’s receive and transmit arrays to point the ground station beams to the satellite,
establishing two-way communications. The process is automatic and provides continuous
horizon to horizon tracking.
