Exploring the Potential of V-Band for Satellite Communications

Abstract

The current development in the scientific field indicates the ability to use v band in satellite communication. “This enhancement will enable the capacity of communication in GEO satellite system to be settled than before. During the last years, researches in geostationary telecommunication satellite systems had focused on the ability of satellite coverage for a wide area within broad banding context. This view had been changed under current investigations. Extended geostationary views in satellites had been challenged to remain able in the competitive context. This was due to its capacity, costs and supported services. The current situation showed its limited capacity, availability, flexibility, and inability to guarantee the required quality of service efficiently. These limitations expected to be resulted from the effects of radio-wave broadcast in atmospheric last layer. Lastly, “the attenuation and scintillation effects of atmospheric gas, clouds and rain become more severe by increasing the operating frequency.
