Satellite Communications Systems: Systems, Techniques and Technology (Wiley Series in Communication and Distributed Systems)

By Michel Bousquet, Gérard Maral, Michele Bousquet

Book Overview

Satellite Communications Systems Systems, Techniques and Technology Third Edition Gerard Maral Ecole Nationale Superieure des Telecommunications, Toulouse, France and Michel Bousquet Ecole Nationale Superieure de l'Aeronautique et l'Espace, Toulouse, France Translated by J. C. C. Nelson, University of Leeds, UK Since publication of the first edition, satellite communications systems have become increasingly sophisticated. This revised, updated and extended third edition of Satellite Communications Systems covers the entire field of satellite communications engineering from the techniques of orbital mechanics and radio wave propagation to the design of communication links and earth stations. The authors analyse numerous satellite communications systems, demonstrate how the components interact within these systems, and detail the relationship between the system and its environment. This book introduces the reader to all areas of satellite communication engineering and emphasises the trade-offs that can be exercised within the constraints of technology, regulations and competition. Distinguishing Features: - A wealth of mathematical, technical and operational data relevant to all aspects of communication spacecraft design and usage - Discusses the most recent developments in this evolving field, such as ATM, SDH applications, the INTERSAT IDR standard and orbital mechanics for space communications, earth station antenna subsystems and communications payload - Extensive illustrations throughout - Survey of the state-of-the-art technology This book is aimed at advanced students, engineers and designers in the field of satellite and mobile radio communications and communication engineers.

Best book for your life

If you are really interested to understant the satellite systems, and this is the best of the books for you. The book give you a lot of in deep infomation of the satellite system and have a lot of calculation. The calculation is not easy to understand at all, so this book is not good for the beginner.

Excellent detail a great student text

Looking for a detailed but straight forward way to learn about satellite communication systems? Maybe your a student looking for study support material on this subject? Well you just found the ultimate book! Maral et al have put together an excellent step by step approach to understanding this complex subject. The space and ground segments get equal detailed treatment with system design methods and analysis of all the components. This leads to a walk through of link budget calculation including examples with specific technical objectives.If I could only have one Satellite Comms book then this is it!

my favorit book

Satellite Communications Systems , I think that is an important for my work .
