摘要 |
The invention relates to a telecommunication system for the intermittent transfer of data from and to at least one user on the ground, including at least one surface terminal associated with the user, at least one signal-repeating means for signals transmitted and/or received from surface terminals (REC), said repeating means moving above the surface of the celestial body, each moving repeating means comprising at least one antenna directed towards the surface of the celestial body, the path of which at the surface of the celestial body forms the ground path, and the progressive scanning of the surface by said ground path determining a so-called swath band. The system comprises a means for reducing the length of the active path such that, at each point of the swath on the ground of the moving repeating means and during each pass thereof, the total duration of coverage by at least one active antenna of the moving repeating means defines a so-called active communication length that is substantially smaller than the width of said swath. |
