Abstract

This paper was prepared for presentation at the third annual meeting of the Space Frequency Coordination Group (SFCG), held in Bangalore, India, at the invitation of the Indian Space Research Organization. SFCG is an informal organization consisting of the European Space Agency and agencies of 16 countries interested in space research. The purpose of the paper was to inform the SFCG of JPL/NASA activities that will lead to use of the 32-GHz allocations for deep space telecommunication. The paper discusses the advantage of 32-GHz links, the estimated link performance, and developments in the fields of antennas, low noise preamplifiers, radiometry, and propagation studies. A description of ways to demonstrate 32-GHz link capability concludes the discussion.
