It is noted that, due to switching capabilities, channels 13-24(F1 antenna) or channels 37-48
(S2 antenna) may be downlinked in the band 12.50 to 12.75 GHz via the F1 antenna,
selectable on a channel by channel basis. It is also possible to downlink S2 channels of the
14.25-14.50 GHz band via the F2 antenna in the 11.45-11.70 GHz band but in this case the F2
channels have to be downlinked via the S2 antenna in the 10.95-11.20 GHz band.
Moreover, there is the possibility to uplink in channels 14 of F1 and downlink in channels 32 of
S1 on a channel basis thus connecting Europe with areas outside F1 coverage.
