This book is the first to explore the delivery end of the satellite link and its relationship to delivery of services. It provides you with the knowledge you need to devise your own approach to implementing and managing earth stations and the overall ground segment. Book News Annotation:
A satellite and information technology consultant presents a handbook
addressing the history, requirements, systems engineering, hardware
design, operations, and maintenance of earth stations and user
terminals. Focusing on solid coverage of the technology and
implementation issues for the ground segment rather than detailing
each element, the author reviews the system and suggests references
for subsequent analysis and selection of the appropriate design
approach. Coverage includes an introduction to the ground segment;
earth station design philosophy; space-ground interface requirements;
two-way communications service requirements; one-way (broadcast)
service requirements; ground segment baseband architecture; earth
station RF design and equipment; signal impairment and analysis
tools; fixed and mobile user terminals; earth station facility design
and site selection; and principles of effective operations and
maintenance.
