[PDF] Satellite Communication Engineering (Signal Processing and Communication, 16) Michael O. Kolawole

This up-to-date reference provides a simple and concise overview of the fundamental principles common to information communications-highlighting satellite and earth station design, links and communication systems, error detection and correction, and regulations and procedures for system modeling, integrations, testing, and evaluation. It supplies a capacity comparison of multiple access methods.”Satellite Communication Engineering” discusses block and feedback ciphering; covers orbital errors; evaluates geometric area coverage and multi-beam satellite networks; illustrates bus, electrical, and mechanical systems design; analyzes system reliability and availability; elucidates reflector/lens, phased array, and helical antenna systems; explores channel filters and multiplexers; explains low-noise and high-power amplifiers; assesses system capacity, cost, and availability antenna tracking; considers fiber optic and microwave terrestrial links; reviews convolutional codes; addresses cellular mobile systems; and, includes end-of-chapter problems for further study.
