Abstract
Abstract We address wide—area coverage for hand—held portables using an on—board signal processing satellite in geostationary (GEO) orbit at minimum payload cost. A GEO link, being power—limited, differs from terrestrial mobile communications systems that use direct radiating antennas by requiring a focal—fed parabolic reflector, which acts as a fixed analog beamformer. We propose to cascade a high—gain parabolic reflector and a digital maximum signal—to—interference—plus—noise ratio (SINR) multi—beamformer for spatial multi—user interference suppression to achieve coverage extension. This involves on—board antenna array signal processing of multiple feeds. It is shown that nearly uniform coverage of an area the size of Canada can be provided using only five parbolic reflector apertures. Compared to conventional focussed multibeam system, link margins are typically increased from a minimum requirement of 5. 25 dB to 7. 5 dB in border areas. The more uniform coverage reduces dynamic power control requirements.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
