This paper presents a methodology for the design of waveforms for high data rate communications in the Ka- frequency band. Key points involving power and bandwidth efficiency design tradeoffs are taken into consideration along with multiple access options, satellite communications payload constraints, and terminal limitations. A baseline waveform design, based on several data modulation / coding and multiple access selections, is presented and shown to meet the data rates needs for the applications of interest.
