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 presents the basic concepts of communication by
satellite, 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 -
Inmarsat and Intelsat included.
