Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the effect of attenuation due to rainfall for an area where the line quality is deteriorated by rainfall, etc. and an area where the traffic variation is caused, by varying the transmission power and the antenna gain which irradiates the above-mentioned areas. CONSTITUTION:The signal of each area received by a multi-beam antenna 1 is amplified by a low noise amplifier 2, applied with frequency conversion at a down-converter 3 and is allotted to the beam that irradiates a desired area via a satellite switch 4. Each signal opplied with frequency conversion at an up-converter 5 is controlled for its level by a transmission power control attenuator 6, branched by a branching filter 8 after receiving a common amplification by a high power amplifier 7, and transmitted through an antenna 1. The quantity of attenuation of the attenuator 6 is controlled by an instruction of a CPU9 on the basis of the rain fall attenuation information and the traffic variation information on each area.
