Abstract: The Mobile User Object System (MUOS) Satellites provide Spectrum Adaptation-Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (SA-WCDMA) bent-pipe communications among MUOS compatible users via a Terrestrial Base Station. The proposed deployable MUOS-AERO Base Station provides a multi-band surrogate for the Terrestrial Base Stations that provides SA-WCDMA or WCDMA Access Point though a miniature WCDMA payload (MUOS-AERO payload).
Benefits: This architecture would allow standard MUOS terminals to operate in mountainous or extremely northern or southern latitudes that cannot see the MUOS satellites. An in-theater MUOS-AERO base station would provide local calls and reach back for global coverage through terrestrial or satellites connections.
