METHOD AND INTERACTIVE SUBSCRIBER TERMINAL FOR INTERACTIVE SUBSCRIBER COMMUNICATIONS Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: satellite communications. SUBSTANCE: proposed method intended for giving assigned subscribers remote access to corporative information resources and/or to Internet uses interactive subscriber terminal to organize interactive subscriber communications in satellite communication system incorporating geostationary satellites operating in different frequency bands and coupled with communication center; interactive subscriber terminal has separate request signal transmitting unit connected to transmitting antenna and response signal receiving unit connected to receiving antenna; transmitting antenna is directed toward geostationary satellite operating in frequency band designed for relaying request signals of subscriber terminals to communication center and receiving antenna is directed toward geostationary satellite operating in broadcast signal frequency band that receives response signals from communication center. Novelty is that information can be transmitted and received through geostationary satellites residing in different positions of geostationary orbits. EFFECT: enlarged operating range and reduced radiant power level. 2 cl, 3 dwg
