Abstract
The system for the optimization of inter-satellite links has a terminal comprising a multiplexer ( ) which is connected to the output of a transmission unit ( ) and has a subchannel input that is connected to an evaluation unit ( ). The terminal also has a demultiplexer ( ), which is connected to the input of a receiver unit ( ) and has a subchannel output that is connected to an optimization unit ( ). With the aid of an auxiliary channel established through the multiplexer and demultiplexer in addition to the transmission channel present for user-information data, it becomes possible to transmit operation-internal data pertaining to at least one continually measured parameter to the optimization unit of the opposite terminal via the evaluation unit ( ).
