Abstract

Provided is a communication system including a control station and a satellite repeater capable of forming two or more beams. The control station includes a control unit that classifies the two or more beams into clusters each made up of two or more beams among the two or more beams and allocates different frequencies to the beams belonging to one of the clusters. The satellite repeater includes a channelizer that performs exchanging processing on an input reception signal and outputs the reception signal having undergone the exchanging processing, as a transmission signal. A signal used in the exchanging processing includes a signal obtained by combining signals corresponding to the beams defining the one cluster.
