Digital communications: Satellite/earth station engineering
Abstract
The analysis and design of the elements of modern satellite communications systems are considered. Illustrative earth station and satellite communications subsystems are first introduced, and link budget calculations are discussed. Signal processing and multiplexing techniques used in terrestrial interface subsystems are described, as are baseband transmission systems principles and design techniques. The principles, performance analysis, and design tools of power-efficient digital modulation techniques for linear and nonlinear satellite earth station and satellite system applications are addressed. Spectrally efficient digital modulation techniques with a spectrum efficiency of more than 2 b/s/Hz are covered along with principles and applications of error correction and detection codes. Synchronization systems used in coherent digital transmission systems are described, as are time-division multiple access satellite systems and powerful signal-processing techniques used in regenerative satellite systems. Single-channel-per-carrier digital satellite systems are discussed.
