Geo-Stationary Orbit (GSO) Multiple transponders for full or partial lease Each transponder is 36-72 MHz wide Single transponder can cover a whole continent Most coverage over populated regions Designed for 0.8 to 1.2 meter fixed terminal Terminal transmit 13.75 to 14.50 GHz Terminal receive 10.7 to 12.75 GHz Ku-band Satellite
Transmission power spectral density under strict limits from two degrees of the target satellite Antenna transmit beamwidth most critical factor for compliance Aero antennas may not comply in some conditions Spread Spectrum Reduce EIRP Interference
GSO Beamwidth Skew angle EIRP Achieved beam steering accuracy Spreading factors and modulations Other interference considerations Radio Astronomy Non-GSO operators Transmit Limitations
Spectral Efficiency (bps per Hz) Modulation, Coding, Spreading As high as 1.0 under favorable scenarios Typical efficiency perhaps 0.3 Less then 0.1 under demanding scenarios Data Link Efficiency
Received at the airplane Forward Channel Single transponder 10 to 50 Mbps (shared) May receive multiple transponders for nearly limitless bandwidth Transmitted from the airplane Return Channel Single Channel Data rates typically 64 kbps to 1 Mbps Data Rates
Two frame spacings Seven fittings 32” to 37” swept volume 10” to 12” radome height Aircraft Antenna Installation

Optimum situation small azimuth beamwidth across GSO Troublesome situation wide elevation beamwidth across GSO Roll angle Tropic latitudes Skew Angle
Bird strike Environmental Qualification Aircraft blockages Beam steering Other Issues and Concerns
Summary • ARINC 791 will lead to common provisions and interchangeable components • Viable technology • Ku band forward channel capacity is unmatched • Ku band return channel data rate is competitive with any other radio system • Coverage is subject to market demand
