Abstract
A payload system for satellites comprising transponder devices with an input section including an uplink antenna, a low noise amplifier, and a converter, and an output section including an input filter, a high power amplifier, an output filter, and a downlink antenna. At least some of the transponders share their high power amplifiers and the high power amplifiers shared have a maximum power smaller than the total power which can be transmitted by the payload.
