Satellite Communication Systems
2004Satellite-based communication has become a major facet of the telecommunication industry for two major reasons. First, it provides a means of broadcasting information to a large number of people simultaneously. Thus, satellite communication systems are an important ingredient in the implementation of a global communication infrastructure.

Lunar communication satellites
Communications Satellite Systems Conference, 1966Abstract Exploration of the surface of the moon and successful operation of lunar bases in the 1970's and beyond will depend on reliable, long-range communication over the lunar globe as well as between the earth and moon. A system of communication satellites in lunar orbit can provide the communications needed over the moon's surface.

The Communication Satellite. The interrelations between an artificial satellite and the earth and the characteristics of satellites are reviewed to determine their effect on communication systems. The requirements for typical communication systems are studied. A set of services are proposed for integration into a large communication satellite.

A Satellite Communications Controller
IBM Systems Journal, 1983A satellite communications controller, which is a component of satellite earth stations, establishes a time division multiple access structure that provides flexibility and efficiency in the use of satellite transmission capacity. The controller blends digital, computer, and communications technology to establish precise timings required for system ...

Multimedia satellite communications
Seamless Interconnection for Universal Services. Global Telecommunications Conference. GLOBECOM'99. (Cat. No.99CH37042), 2003Satellites are expected to carry a significant amount of future broadband multimedia communications. Satellites are able to offer global connectivity, coverage, rapid deployment and virtually a 'fiber-in-the-sky'. There are numerous exciting challenges and possibilities, and this paper focuses on some of the issues involved.

Active arrays for satellite communications
2012 Loughborough Antennas & Propagation Conference (LAPC), 2012This presentation deals with the optimal synthesis of non periodic, isophoric arrays capable of generating high gain spot beams for satellite communications. After discussing the advantages and potentialities of such a kind of antennas, as well as the difficulty of their optimal design, a three step synthesis strategy and the algorithms for its ...

History of Satellite Communications
2013The history of satellite communications is a rich one that began centuries ago with the efforts to interpret the meaning of the “wandering planets” among the stars and to understand the structure of the cosmos. Early scientists such as Sir Isaac Newton and writers of speculative fiction both contemplated the idea that humans might one day launch ...

Publisher Summary Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) are increasingly being used in the design of microwave subsystems for on-board communications satellite and ground terminal applications. Key technology factors contributing to this trend are the relative maturity of MMIC design techniques, improvements in ...

Satellite-Based Cellular Communications
IEEE Microwave Magazine, 2000With so many problems besetting potential providers of handheld satellite communications, it would seem that any new entrant would do so with great trepidation. Yet, significant contrasts in implementation philosophies and system embodiments between the various proposed offerings can cause dramatic differences in potential profitability and the overall
