Abstract:
In the last years scientific community has been witness of the growing interest in global EHF satellite systems for broadband communications; these systems can help national and regional telecommunications service operators to provide broadband communications in areas not adequately served by terrestrial systems. In this paper main EHF satellite missions are presented, outlining challenges and future perspectives.
