Synopsis

This is an examination of the various elements that constitute a satellite communications system and a description of the fundamentals of satellite system design.The book introduces up-to-date operational systems as examples of how the concepts and techniques are applied in practice. The topics covered include: satellit orbits; communication links; modulation and coding; baseband signals; multiple-access techniques; earth stations; and communication satellites. Topics such as modulation, coding and baseband signals are considered from the specific viewpoint of the satellite communications engineer. The book is designed to provide the basis for a 10-15 hour lecture course. It includes practical examples, end-of-chapter problems and appendicescontaining useful data and orbit-related formulas.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Newly updated the bestselling guide to satellite systems for global communications. Satellite Communications Systems is the only guide that covers the entire technology, from groundlinks through signaling, access, spacecraft, orbits, and positioning. Featuring an easy-to-read
style and a step-by-step approach, this essential reference: walks you through satellite system design, step by step; features special new sections on geosynchronous satellites for global mobile communications, non-geostationary constellations, and low- and medium-orbit systems; covers the latest technology and concepts plus
future trends; is packed with examples, guidelines, models, case studies, useful orbit related formulas, and references. Combining thorough coverage of traditional satellite communication issues with in-depth treatments of global mobile concerns, this guidebook is an
indispensable working tool for communications, aeronautical, and systems engineers for technicians, and for students in these disciplines.
