Channel Planning

AuraGateway makes provision for mapping Carriers into Channels based on Channel Plans that the User controls. The fundamental Digital access methods are FDMA, TDMA and CDMA.  FDMA is treated as a combination of Fixed Digital and/or Fixed Analog Carriers on various frequencies in AuraGateway. 

In the screen shown, a wideband CDMA frequency allocation is being shared by three earth stations, each of which has been assigned a unique orthogonal code. A fixed digital channel and a narrowband fixed analog signal are assigned above the wideband CDMA channel.

Whereas channels are sometimes pre-defined by the FCC, ITU and other regulatory bodies in microwave frequency bands, satellite communications does not have that luxury. Every transponder is different, and the planning has to reflect the actual and anticipated traffic that the transponder will carry.
