DESCRIPTION:
Review Satellite Communications Systems Not too bad Of course, its price is pretty high. It should be lower than what it is and now.It is not easy to read for those who are not familiar or have background of the satellite communications systems.
* Features an improved presentation of satellite applications with regards to services * Discusses the most recent developments in this evolving field, including MPEG2, concatenated coding, digital TV and examples of transmission of digital telephony * Practical approach and extensive illustrations are highly valued by student audience * A single source, comprehensive and thorough reference covering the entire field of satellite communications engineering. Since publication of the first edition, satellite communications systems have become increasingly sophisticated. Satellite communications refers to the utilisation of geostationary orbiting satellites to relay the transmission received from one earth station to one or more earth stations. They are the outcome of research in the area of communications whose objective is to achieve ever-increasing ranges and capacities with the lowest possible costs. This revised, updated and extended fourth edition covers the entire field of satellite communications engineering from the techniques of orbital mechanics and radio wave propagation to the design of communication links and earth stations. New features include: * An updated section on the evolution of satellite communications and the deployment of services * Inclu
* Provies a comprehensive treatment of fundamental satellite communications systems engineering and discusses the technological applications * Demonstrates how system components interact and details the relationship between the system and its environment * Covers systems aspects such as techniques enabling equipment and system dimensioning and state of the art technology for satellite platforms, payloads and earth stations * Enables the reader to evaluate system performance and reliability by considering technological, regulatory and competitive constraints New features and updates for fourth edition include: * Exhaustive presentation of signals and related Quality of Service (QoS) requirements * Recent developments in the modulation and coding schemes used on satellite links for new services (including concatenated coding, coded modulation
