Synopsis

Volume One of the Wireless Communications Design Handbook provides an in-depth look at interference problems in satellite communications. The material presented is from a satellite or spacecraft hardware point of view rather than from theoretical models. Each satellite subsystem is described in detail to point out interference and noise problems associated with it. The book also addresses typical architectures and hardware design issues in satellites. In addition, a detailed look at space interference is discussed with emphasis on the possible impact on satellite electronics.

• An applications-oriented reference for engineers, system designers, and practitioners
• Addresses the most common interference concerns in ground mobile wireless communications systems
• Hardware-oriented approach to interference and noise concerns as well as satellite subsystem design
• All satellite subsystems described in great technical detail
• Significantly covers space interference with a slanted approach to satellite hardware effects
• Covers modern hardware design for low earth orbit satellites to be used in wireless communications

About this title

About the Author

Reinaldo Perez is Senior Engineer and Member of the Technical Staff at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California. For the past three years, Dr. Perez has also been working with Lockheed Martin Astronautics (LMA) on the Mars Surveyor series. His primary work has been as a designer of spacecraft (or satellite) subsystems and ground support hardware for increased reliability in space environments, focusing on wireless communications hardware with built-in immunity to many kinds of noise and interference problems. He is a senior member of the IEEE, AIAA, and AIP, and serves as a board member of the Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society (ACES). In addition, Dr. Perez is an associate editor of the IEEE EMCS Journal, as well as Editor of the ACES Newsletter.

From the Back Cover

The first in a series of three volumes, Space Interference provides an in-depth look at interference problems in satellite communications. Presented from an applied satellite or space craft-oriented point of view, rather than from the theoretical models perspective, each satellite subsystem is described in enough detail to point out the interference and noise problems associated with it. Structured to allow those involved in satellite-based wireless communications systems design to address practical interference problems at the hardware level in the early stages of the design and development process, this hardware-oriented approach will prevent interference issues from rising to levels that could affect satellite performance in the later stages of development, where costs and schedules are of primary concern. Satellite engineers will be able to obtain a comprehensive view of interference concerns that arise at each subsystem development.
