SATELLITE MULTIPLE ACCESSING

CHAPTER 26 ARRANGEMENTS

# DEFINITIONS TERMS

Also called as Multiple Destination, It implies that more

than one user has access to one or more radio
channels within a satellite communications channel.

1) Multiple Accessing Arrangement: Multiple Accessing

Frequency-division multiple accessing
(FDMA)
Time-division multiple accessing (TDMA)
Code-division multiple accessing (CDMA)

A given number of the available voice-band channels

3)
Voice channels are assigned on an as-needed basis.

The method of assigning adjacent channels different

electromagnetic polarizations and is possible by using

An abbreviation for Global Positioning System.

Two levels of service or accuracy: GPS
40)
Standard Positioning Service
Precise Positioning Service

A satellite-based open navigation system which simply

means that it is available to anyone equipped with a
GPS receiver.
41) Navstar GPS
Consists of three segments:
a space segment
a ground control segment
user segment

It is when was the Navstar declared as fully

42) April 27, 1995
operational by the U.S. Air Force Space Command.

It was completed in 1994 and is maintained by the Navstar Satellite System

43)
United States Air Force.

A positioning and timing service that is available to all Standard Positioning

44) GPS users on a continuous, worldwide basis with Service
no direct change.
