The INTELSAT-K satellite supports intercontinental communications applications such as video distribution, very small aperture terminals, international business services, and satellite newsgathering, which employ small, low-cost receive terminals and thus require high downlink EIRP. The payload consists of sixteen 60-W, 54-MHz channel transponders providing receive and transmit coverages to Europe and North America, and transmit coverage to South America. Flexible beam connectivity allows a variety of uplink and downlink connections, including combinations of the three beams. The amplifiers in one transponder panel have limiter circuits to compensate for decreases in uplink signals, such as are caused by propagation fading. The payload features of INTELSAT-K are described in detail, and performance verification testing of the satellite is discussed.
