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 to be 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, which consists of antennas, receivers, and transmitters. The book 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:
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 the book.
If you are a payload systems engineer, this book can serve as a valuable tool for expanding your knowledge base. If you're a graduate student, it will guide your introductory learning. As an industry professional, you can make this book a go-to reference.
