Description
Satellites are increasingly used for global communications, as well as for radio and television transmissions. With the growth of mobile
communications, and of digital technology, the use of satellite systems is set to expand substantially and already all students of electronics
or communications engineering must study the subject.
This book steers a middle path between offering a basic understanding of the
process of communication by satellite and the methodology used; and the extensive mathematical analysis normally adopted in similar texts.
It presents the basic concepts, using as much mathematical content as is necessary to make the process understandable. The principles
introduced are backed up by examples of actual applications showing how professional systems engineers have achieved the required system
performance capabilities. The practical systems chosen are representative of modern day applications and comprise an international communications
system, an international maritime system and a regional system.
Audience
Undergraduates in electronics or communications engineering where satellite communications is an essential part of the course. Students
on MEng and MSc courses. Also suitable for maritime electronics engineers.
