Satellite Communications Payload and System, 2nd
edition |
A valuable reference on communications satellite systems This book presents the state of the art
in commercial communications satellite systems, thoroughly and in detail not
found in any other book. These systems
provide the television and some of the telephone and Internet services in use
every day. The book focuses on the
satellite payload. It discusses the
what, the how, and the why of various choices that have been made in
currently operating systems. The book is organized into three parts: 1.
In-depth
description of various payload units, not requiring specialist
knowledge. For each unit and the
payload as a whole, the architecture, the theory of operation, analysis,
performance, and specifications are presented. 2.
End-to-end system
context in which the payload operates.
Digital communications theory and satellite communications protocols
are introduced. The time-varying
properties of satellite-to-ground links are explored. Tips on system simulation are given. 3.
Current
commercial end-to-end satellite communications systems, in their grand
variety. The emphasis is on the
satellite payload and its interactions with the satellite bus, ground
stations, and user terminals. The second edition adds the third part
of the book. Payload unit descriptions
have been updated and enlarged. The
communications theory chapter has been upgraded and the protocols chapter
added to briefly describe all the elements mentioned in part 3. Non-geostationary satellite considerations
have been included throughout. If you are a payload systems engineer,
this book can serve as a valuable tool for expanding your knowledge. If you are a graduate student, it will
guide your introductory learning. As
an industry professional, you can make this book a go-to reference. |
