Abstract

The architectural design of the Q/V band site diversity experiment between the transmit/receive ground station in Graz/Austria and the receive only ground station in Budapest is described in this paper. The ground station Budapest is connected via Internet to transfer information about the reception quality of the received signals and to request to adjust the modulation and coding. The uplink power is controlled by the station in Graz, based on the local received beacon signal from the satellite. The planed experiments and the expected results are described in the final paragraph of this paper.
