Description
An undeniably rich and thorough guide to satellite communication engineering, Satellite Communication Engineering, Second Edition presents the fundamentals of information communications systems in a simple and succinct way. This book considers both the engineering aspects of satellite systems as well as the practical issues in the broad field of information transmission. Implementing concepts developed on an intuitive, physical basis and utilizing a combination of applications and performance curves, this book starts off with a progressive foundation in satellite technology, and then moves on to more complex concepts with ease.
What's New in the Second Edition:
The second edition covers satellite and Earth station design; global positioning systems; antenna tracking; links and communications systems; error detection and correction; data security; regulations and procedures for system modeling; integration; testing; and reliability and performance evaluation.
Provides readers with the systems building blocks of satellite transponders and Earth stations, as well as the systems engineering design procedure
Includes the tools needed to calculate basic orbit characteristics such as period, dwell time, coverage area, propagation losses; antenna system features such as size, beamwidth, aperture-frequency product, gain, tracking control; and system requirements such as power, availability, reliability, and performance
Presents problem sets and starred sections containing basic mathematical development
Details recent developments enabling digital information transmission and delivery via satellite
Satellite Communication Engineering, Second Edition
serves as a textbook for students and a resource for space agencies and relevant industries.

Reviews / Votes
"It's application is industry based. ...it will excite readers especially with it empirical examples."--Kayode Odimayomi, METI-University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria
"The book provides a simple explanation of the very technical aspects of satellite systems engineering. It covers a wide range of topics and includes useful topics of Design of Satellite Links, Satellite Communication Network Access Types and Error Detection and Correction Coding Schemes, Regulatory Agencies and Procedures and Mobile Satellite Systems, which is a recent phenomenon. Very good examples are used to illustrate the design procedures."
-Tokunbo Ogunfunmi, Santa Clara university
