Abstract

A flexible payload for a satellite includes a main uplink antenna device configured to receive at least a main uplink signal over a main coverage area; a reconfigurable uplink antenna device configured to receive a complementary uplink signal over a complementary coverage area; a command device configured to define the complementary coverage area of the reconfigurable uplink antenna device, and an agile converting device configured to generate a spectral hole in the bandwidth of the main uplink signal.
