SNG in Ka-band
WBU-ISOG Geneva, Dec 2009
Andrew Hughes
Senior Product Engineer
Background
S
Continuing demand for SNG/OU 14.00-14.25 GHz Ku-band but
there is a scarcity of available capacity in Europe.
S
500 MHz of exclusive Ka Band capacity over Europe uplink
frequency 29.5–30.0 GHz is immediately available
S
Astra 1L launched in May 2007 carries a Ka-band payload
• Uplink in the ‘exclusive’ band 29.5-30 GHz
• 12 uplink beams covering Europe
• One downlink beam covering Europe 18.3-18.8 GHz
S
NDSatCom has developed a Ka/Ku dual-band SNG vehicle
• Successfully demonstrated during IBC 2009 in Amsterdam

Regulatory Status
S
CEPT has developed a Decision on exemption for individual terminal licensing in
the exclusive 29.5-30.0 GHz satellite band.
S
“LEST” (Low EIRP Satellite Terminals) Decision up to 50 dBW has been adopted
by most European countries
S
“HEST” (High EIRP Satellite terminals) decision up to 59 dBW implemented by
16 countries
S
SES is lobbying the remaining 30 Countries to implement the HEST Decision
S
Ka Band new to some administrations who subsequently do not have procedures
in place to process applications.
S
SES applying for licenses in several countries to precipitate clearance
procedures
•
•
•
•
•
License granted in The Netherlands
Use of Ka-band SNG possible in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark
France and Germany currently modifying National Regulation to allow Ka-band SNG
Ongoing investigation in Italy, Switzerland and UK
Fees dependent on country

NDSatCom Ka/Ku dual-band SNG
S
ND Satcom SNG developed in line with CEPT Decision
S
Dual band Ka/Ku band terminal
S
1.2 m Antenna with 10W BUC offering 59 dBW Tx EIRP
S
DVB-S2 , QPSK, FEC ½ with ULPC into 4 – 5 m Rx antenna
allows 99.8 % availability.
S
Ka Band presents challenges
Atmospheric Attenuation requires ULPC
Satellite station keeping movements cannot be ignored
Equipment price higher and longer lead times, 2-3 months
SPACE SEGMENT COST VERY COMPETITIVE
