FIELD: communication technology; satellite communication systems.
SUBSTANCE: route selection subsystem in a satellite with a transparent repeater provides flexible routing of signals without processing that connect the uplink antenna ports to the downlink antenna ports through the uplink and downlink route selectors. The route selectors can be dynamically reconfigured, for example, in orbit, so that the configuration of the route selectors at one time can form one set of signal routes between the corresponding uplink and downlink antenna ports, and the configuration at another time can form a different set of signal routes between the corresponding uplink and downlink antenna ports. The route selection subsystem can have a simultaneous transmission mode, when activated, each of at least one of the uplink antenna ports is connected to a set of user downlink antenna ports, forming one or more simultaneous signal transmission routes without processing.
EFFECT: technical result is providing flexible signal routes within the satellite of the satellite communication system.
