Satellite Communication Systems
This learning track covers a comprehensive understanding of Satellite Communication Systems, starting from the basic features of satellite communication to the intricate details of satellite orbits and launchers. It delves into the components of a satellite, including the satellite bus, payload, antenna, and the environment in which the satellite operates. The track further explores the concept of link budget in wireless communication, the power requirements in a wireless link, and the different types of losses in a satellite communication system. It provides a comprehensive understanding of signal propagation and its impairment due to atmospheric effects. The track also covers the comprehensive understanding of Ground Segment in Satellite Communication, the subsystems inside the earth station, the types of antennas used, and the measurement techniques of the earth station's receive and transmit characteristics. It introduces the concept of multiple access techniques used in satellite communication, the intricate concept of non-linearity in communication systems, the fundamental aspects of synchronization in satellite communication, the complexities of satellite communication protocols, and the comprehensive understanding of satellite navigation systems.
