A communication satellite payload is the system on board the satellite which provides the link for the communications signal path. Traditionally, this link was between two ground stations but present-day payloads now provide not only for this link but also can provide interconnectivity for a large number of mobile users directly to each other or via the ground stations. Payloads are providing this extra functionality to meet the needs of more mobile populations, rapidly changing traffic demands and variable operational scenarios. To do so they have become more complex and more powerful, which has become possible through advances in technology, reducing the mass and power consumption of the electronics equipment for a given level of functionality or performance.
