Abstract

For enhanced communication on board of aircraft, novel antenna systems with broadband satellite-based capabilities are required. So far existing L-band satellite based systems for communications are used primarily for passenger application (APC) or administrative communications (AAC); initially analogue voice and now data are tending to evolve towards broadband digital applications. Many studies are going on worldwide to employ Ku-band TV geostationary satellites for communication with mobile terminals on aircraft. For a short period broadband internet was available on aircraft via Connexion by Boeing (CBB) services. Lufthansa installed the CBB system on some of their long-haul aircraft. In the EC Sixth Framework Programme ANASTASIA (Airborne New and Advanced Satellite techniques and Technologies in A System Integrated Approach) existing and planned aeronautical SATCOM services, systems and technology have been analysed. It has been concluded that for cockpit services, L-band systems (namely Inmarsat, MTSAT, Iridium and Globalstar) are clearly most suitable, whilst Ku-band systems have appeal for passenger services
