DEVELOPMENTS The aim of this chapter is to discuss briefly possible developments of VSAT future technology. The introduction of this book emphasised the fact that VSAT networks are part of the historical evolution of earth station technology towards a reduction insize and cost. From the link analysis developed in Chapter 5, it has become clearthat this evolution was possible thanks to the availability of satellite transponders with high EIRP and G/r. Such satellites emerged as a result of coverage design, evolving from global tomultiple spot beams, and eventually adaptation to offering regional services, as mentionedChapter 2, section . in . | VSAT Networks Copyright 1995 John Wiley Sons Ltd ISBNs 0-471-95302-4 Hardback 0-470-84188-5 Electronic 6 FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS The aim of this chapter is to discuss briefly possible future developments of VSAT technology. The introduction of this book emphasised the fact that VSAT networks are part of the historical evolution of earth station technology towards a reduction in size and cost. From the link analysis developed in Chapter 5 it has become clear that this evolution was possible thanks to the availability of satellite transponders with high EIRP and G T. Such satellites emerged as a result of coverage design evolving from global to multiple spot beams and eventually adaptation to offering regional services as mentioned in Chapter 2 section . COST REDUCTION OF VSATs Offering small sized stations at low cost does not necessarily mean that VSAT networks are guaranteed a market. Indeed VSAT networks face terrestrial competition and have developed in the past and will continue to do so only if they offer services to the customer at a lower cost than terrestrial alternatives. It is therefore important that VSATs remain cheap and reliable. This will most certainly prevent any drastic technology change which would not offer a sizeable cost reduction. Reducing the antenna size reduces its cost but increases the risk of interference unless higher frequency bands are used. However when changing from Ku-band to Ka-band three difficulties arise the lack of satellites operating at Ka-band the increased cost of the earth station equipment and the larger link margins to keep up with the same link availability. Therefore the most probable evolution concerns the earth station electronic equipment. What is likely is a progressive replacement of the analogue parts of the receiver and transmitter by digital circuits for those functions that can be based on digital processing of signals such as demodulation and modulation. This would allow more flexibility as the
