ABSTRACT
This paper presents a methodology for the design of waveforms for high
data rate communications in the Ka- frequency band. Key points involving power
and bandwidth efficiency design tradeoffs are taken into consideration along with
multiple access options, satellite communications payload constraints, and terminal
limitations. A baseline waveform design, based on several data modulation / coding
and multiple access selections, is presented and shown to meet the data rates needs for
the applications of interest.
