Abstract
This paper provides a description of a baseband processor planned for satellite communication systems operating in Ka band. The satellite based interconnection of individual earth terminals is described in terms of uplink and downlink message formats, and the on-board processing signal flow. Advanced technology requirements and developments are reviewed including current activity in custom large scale integrated circuit development.
