Abstract of the Disclosure A reliable earth terminal for satellite communications systems includes a single fixed reflector antenna which provides multiple beams each positionable by small feed motion. The transmitter uses modular power amplifiers each capable of full band operation, but operation of each amplifier is limited to an assigned increment through the use of band-limiting filters. A single, redundant power amplifier may be remotely switched into any one of the transmitting chains in the event of a failure. The receiver includes modular low noise "fail-soft" preamplifiers followed by receiving chains channelized into band increments corresponding to those of the transmitting chains. All subsystems are broadband, channel bandwidth being determined only by inter- mediate frequency band pass filters. Prime power is low voltage battery banks recharged by a commercial power source or a motor generator. Since the terminal is both automatic and self-protec- ting, remote monitoring and control is limited to normal parameter adjustments such as antenna feed positioning, changes in transmit- ter power, and switching of the spare power amplifier or turning off any carrier.
