II. SYSTEM MODEL AND PROBLEM STATEMENT
In this section, we present the system model and outline the optimization problem for our GEO satellite system. Our system comprises a single multibeam satellite that serves a wide Earth region with B spot-beams. The focus lies on the forward user link, with K single-antenna user terminals (UTs) distributed across the satellite’s coverage area. The satellite’s payload features versatile power management using a traveling-wave tube amplifier (TWTA) with adaptive input back-off (IBO) and beamwidth control using a DRA. Frequency reuse strategies are implemented to mitigate cochannel beam interference.
Our system incorporates a DRA with N × N radiating elements to control the power, beamwidth, Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP), which depends on the power and beamwidth, Side Lobe Level (SLL), and pointing per beam depending on traffic requirements. To determine the number of antenna elements, we consider gain requirements, beam solid angle, satellite position, altitude, and coverage area.
