This essential resource has become the industry's standard
introduction to satellite networks. Professionals and students
alike turn to this highly understandable book for a comprehensive
overview of satellite technology, applications, and management.
Thoroughly updated and expanded with a wealth of new material, the
third edition covers all the fundamentals of satellites, ground
control systems, and earth stations. It provides a practical
understanding of the basic construction and usage of commercial
satellite networks - how parts of a satellite system function, how
various components interact, which role each component plays, and
which factors are the most critical to success. This latest edition
focuses on digital communications and digital processing, as well
as systems engineering of satellite systems. Moreover, the book
focuses on the economic, legal, and management issues involved in
running the business of satellite communications.
Since the publication of the first edition of "The Satellite
Communication Applications Handbook", the satellite industry has
experienced explosive growth thanks to a flood of innovations in
consumer electronics, broadcasting, the Internet, transportation
and broadband telecommunications. This second edition covers all
the latest advances in satellite technology and applications and
features new chapters on mobile digital audio radio and VSAT
networks. It updates and expands upon the engineering and
management topics addressed in the first edition. Engineers get the
latest technical details into operations, architectures, and
systems components. Managers are brought up to date with the latest
business applications as well as regulatory and legal decisions
affecting domestic and international markets. The treatment is also
of value to marketing, legal, regulatory, and financial and
operations professionals who must gain a clear understanding of the
capabilities and issues associated with satellite space and ground
facilities and services. You get real-world, first-hand insight
into: defining a satellite network architecture to meet your
organization's business or operational requirements; engineering
criteria and design principles for TV and radio broadcasting,
mobile and fixed telephony, and VSAT data communications; and
addressing business and regulatory issues to ensure a successful
satellite application. Whether you are new to the satellite
industry and need a quick and thorough understanding of how
satellite communications operate or are a veteran professional
needing a refresher on issues not encountered day to day, "The
Satellite Communication Applications Handbook, Second Edition" is a
resource that can be referred to again and again.
From international telephone network gateways to direct broadcast
home receivers, today's broad range of ground systems and devices
require satellite communication engineers and business managers to
have a broad and sound understanding of the design and operating
principles of earth stations and ground control facilities. This
volume offers an exploration of the delivery end of the satellite
link and its relationship to the delivery of services.
A comprehensive overview of satellite technology and usage for
commercial purposes. This edition offers expanded coverage of all
the relevant elements of the satellite, ground control system, and
earth stations. It aims to give the reader a practical
understanding of the basic construction and usage of modern
commercial satellite networks - how parts of the satellite system
function, how the various elements interact, what role each element
plays, and which elements are the most critical to success.
