Digital Communications by Satellite: Modulation, Multiple Access and Coding

By Vijay K. Bhargava

Brings together theories, tradeoffs and implications for system design for digital communications by satellites, with emphasis on modulation, multiple access and coding techniques. The book includes tables and worked examples with emphasis on practical design parameters; also over 130 problems. Presents much new material, including over-all digital satellite system design equations; carrier and clock recovery of burst moderns; an introduction to integrated coding and modulation techniques; a complete survey of TDMA satellite systems with emphasis on synchronization problems; an introduction to packet satellite networks; ARQ for satellite channel; detailed treatment of Viterbi and sequential decoding; and a unified treatment of threshold decoding for both block and convolutional codes.
