Abstract
In a system for providing data content to and from a plurality of mobile platforms where each of the mobile platforms transmits a return link having an EIRP to a predetermined location via a satellite-mounted transponder, a method for controlling an EIRP of the aggregate return link emissions of the mobile platforms. The method includes the steps of determining a probability distribution of the EIRP of the return link for each of the mobile platforms; and determining a probability distribution of the EIRP for the aggregate return link emissions using the probability distributions of the EIRP of the return link for each of the mobile platforms; determining an aggregate off-axis EIRP density envelope for a predetermined probability level and the probability distribution of the EIRP for the aggregate return link emissions.
