Synopsis:

Detailing concepts and calculations from the entire field, this text is sophisticated enough to permit the kinds of analysis needed for major systems planning decisions while it avoids the highly theoretical work found in the literature on special disciplines. This second edition covers channel capacity, picture quality, signal to noise ration, bit error rate, earth station antenna size, and offers new material on orbital mechanics and geometry. For satellite communications systems engineers.

Synopsis: "Communication Satellite Systems Engineering" can be divided into several widely disparate fields - the design of the communications transponder, the space platform around to carry it, a launch system for placing it into orbit, the earth stations for communicating and, the interconnection lines with terrestrial systems. Each of the chapters of this book tries to give the systems engineer a broad understanding of these different elements of the system and their relationship to each other.
