• New TDRSS global beam designed<br />

TASS Configuration<br />

– Element phasing controlled via upload comm<strong>and</strong>s<br />

– Fixed beam ~ ± 9 - 10 o ; covers altitudes to ~ 1000 km<br />

• 24 x 7 S-b<strong>and</strong> broadcast from three TDRS will provide global coverage<br />

• Multiple Access broadcast<br />

– 2.5 MChips/sec PN code modulated / BPSK data stream<br />

– Unique PN code per TDRS synchronized with <strong>GPS</strong><br />

– 512 bps data rate including rate 1/2 FEC<br />

• Next Generation TDRS will be more capable<br />

– Wider beam for better polar coverage<br />

– Stronger signal<br />
