Satellite Communications
This e-book gives an introduction to the Satellite Communications field with pointers towards critical issues that should be considered in the design of a satellite system. It introduces the basic orbital parameters, the space environment, followed by a detailed presentation of the link budget and various satellite access schemes. The ground station architecture and requirements are formulated. Channel coding and joint source-channel coding are introduced. The building blocks of the satellite platform and the satellite payload are discussed, bent-pipe versus onboard processing architectures are compared. Satellite services, installation in orbit, limitations and solutions for TCP/IP traffic over satellite are covered. Network dimensioning and MAC layer issues will help you in the system optimisation. Examples of how to achieve privacy at no extra cost, protection from jamming and inter-satellite links are examined. A brief history of Australian contributions in this area with a focus on the latest developments in satellite communications equipment (e.g., the S-TECTM codec and the Satellite Network Access Point SNAP) is also included. The author is A/Prof Sorin Adrian Barbulescu with more than 20 years experience in the field (Email: contact@escus.info). He received his PhD from the University of South Australia in 1996 and the Graduate Certificate in Management in 1999. He has been working with the Institute for Telecommunications Research, University of South Australia, as a technical leader and project manager in projects applying the turbo coding technology in mobile and fixed satellite communications systems. This e-book is a general introduction to satellite communications in .ppt format. It is intended for those engineers and technicians working in the field who would like to get an overall understanding of the issues. Managers who need a sound understanding of the implications of the latest technology in improving the system efficiency and cutting costs will also benefit. It does not require a specific background although a basic knowledge of digital communications would be useful.

The first reference to a geostationary satellites is by Arthur C Clarke (1917-2008) in a letter to the editor titled Peacetime Uses for V2 published in the 1945 February issue of Wireless World (page 58).

This Satellite Communications course is a synthesis of many specific topics e.g., orbits, link budgets, space propagation, which also draws from highly specialised fields e.g., source and channel coding, digital communications, traffic networking, RF and optical communications, all of them brought together from the perspective of communication techniques that can be achieved via satellites.

Satellite Communications is about moving data or information across large distances under some specific resource constraints: bandwidth power mass size speed The system optimization depends on the application, but it always aims towards minimizing the use of resources in the space segment given the difficulty to replace those resources. While mass and size are simple to understand, power, bandwidth and speed can always be traded off in order to achieve the target bit error rate required by a particular application.
Slide 9 Slide 10
In satellite communications, bandwidth represents the range of frequencies that is occupied by an electromagnetic signal on a given transmission medium. It is the difference between the highestfrequency signal component and the lowest-frequency signal component. A typical voice signal has a bandwidth of approximately 3 kHz (one Hertz is one cycle of change per second). A high quality CD music can span a bandwidth of 20 kHz while an analogue television broadcast video signal has a bandwidth of 6 MHz. All communication signals are bandwidth limited. Every signal in time has an equivalent definition in terms of the occupied range of frequencies.
Slide 11
The symbol rate (baud rate) is the rate at which the signal state changes in the communications channel. Units of symbol rate are symbols/second (baud). The number of symbol states needed to uniquely represent any pattern of n bits is given by the expression M = 2n symbol states. The information rate is defined as the speed at which binary information (bits) can be transferred from source to destination. Units of information rate are bits/second (bps). The bandwidth efficiency of a communications link is a measure of how well a particular modulation format and coding scheme is making use of the available bandwidth. Units for bandwidth efficiency of a digital communications link are bits/second/Hz.

If your business has a global reach in areas with no reliable or secure terrestrial communication infrastructure, you might need to consider a satellite based solution. The headquarters could be connected in a star architecture, via a hub, to all remote sites that would use very small aperture terminals (VSAT) links.
Depending of the type of business, a mesh architecture in which each remote site can communicate with any other remote site as shown here could be used. These satellite communications can be terrestrial, maritime or aeronautical. There is wide range of solutions for these type of satellite links which allow voice, video and data communications across the whole network.

Providing GSM services via satellite GSM backhaul in the emerging markets, in geographically challenged areas, or areas in which conventional terrestrial transmission solutions are either not available or not appropriate could open new business opportunities.
