Satellite Communications

The purpose of this book is to present the essential ideas that underlie the majority of information communications systems in a clear and straightforward manner. Having mastered the fundamentals, one can easily progress to concrete realizations. Concepts are generated largely intuitively and physically throughout, with additional knowledge coming from a combination of applications and performance curves. Problem sets are offered to individuals looking for more practice. Those who are simply interested in a qualitative understanding may skip the parts with stars that contain basic mathematical advances without losing any continuity. Students studying electrical, electronics, and communication engineering as well as practical engineers who want to become more knowledgeable about the vast topic of information transmission, particularly satellite
communications, are the target audience for the book.
