Riassunto

Master the Engineering Behind Modern Satellite Communication Systems

Satellite communications can seem overwhelming because orbital geometry, RF propagation, antennas, link budgets, modulation, interference, spectrum coordination, payloads, gateways, and network architecture all interact at once. Satellite Communications Systems Handbook brings these topics together in one practical, engineering-focused guide designed to help you understand how complete satellite communication systems actually work.

Written for upper-level engineering students, graduate-entry learners, early-career engineers, and technical professionals, this handbook moves systematically from core principles to modern high-capacity and non-terrestrial networks.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Build and evaluate complete satellite link budgets, including EIRP, G/T, C/N₀, Eᵦ/N₀, losses, thresholds, and margins.
• Understand orbital geometry, coverage, slant range, delay, Doppler, and handover.
• Analyze antennas, RF front ends, propagation losses, fading, noise, and interference.
• Compare digital modulation, coding, multiple-access techniques, and resource-allocation strategies.
• Understand transparent and regenerative payloads, gateways, user terminals, and constellation architectures.
• Evaluate PFD, EPFD, spectrum coordination, compatibility, and interference protection.
• Explore high-throughput satellites, LEO constellations, spot-beam frequency reuse, and non-terrestrial networks.
• Apply reliability, redundancy, verification, operational margins, and end-to-end systems engineering.

Clear engineering explanations, worked calculations, technical diagrams, tables, practice problems, and design-oriented examples make complex concepts easier to apply in real analysis.

Whether you are studying satellite communications or strengthening your professional engineering knowledge, this handbook provides the structured foundation you need to connect individual calculations with complete system performance.
