Description: Since their
introduction in the mid-1960s, satellite communications have grown from a
futuristic experiment into an integral part of today's "wired world."
Satellite communications are at the core of a global, automatically switched
telephony network. Assembled by the International Telecommunication Union--the
international organization that sets the standards for this rapidly growing
industry--the Handbook on Satellite Communications, Third Edition brings
together basic facts about satellite communications as related to the
fixed-satellite service (FSS). It covers the main principles, technologies, and
operation of equipment in a tutorial form.
Updated to
include the latest technologies and information, the Third Edition provides
both the standards and technical information needed to implement and interact
with satellite communication systems, including:
* The components
and basic characteristics of a satellite communication system
* Regulatory considerations
and system planning
* SDH and ATM
satellite transmissions
* Analog and
digital baseband signal processing and multiplexing
* Carrier
modulation techniques
* Geostationary
and non-geostationary systems
*
Interconnection of satellite and terrestrial networks
* LEOS satellite
networks and other recent developments
