Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0148940A1] A noise injection radiometer (410) operating at the down-link frequency is implemented to estimate fading present on the up-link signal. The up-link fade is then compensated for by increasing the power transmitted (250) by the earth station based on the up-link fade estimation (230). In addition, most of the radiometer circuitry is contained within a carefully controlled temperature environment (40) to compensate for temperature variation at the earth station receiver that can affect the accuracy of the determination of the fade estimation. According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention the noise injection radiometer (410) shares most of the RF electronics present at the earth station receiver and therefore can be implemented without significantly increasing the cost or complexity of the overall system.
