Abstract
A method for the optimization of the payload of a multispot telecommunication satellite is disclosed. This type of satellite allows the use of several antenna spots on board the satellite to cover contiguous geographical zones, instead of a single broad spot. The method uses the division of an amplification unit such as a travelling wave tube TWTA between several spots.
