Course Contents
This course aims to cover the basic components of satellite communication systems in a comprehensive manner. Students will start by learning the types of satellite orbits and the concepts of frequency and propagation. In link analysis topics, antenna parameters and calculations of transmitted and received power will be emphasized; noise power and signal-to-noise ratio calculations at the receiver will also be done. The course will cover topics such as station-to-station S/N ratio calculations, link design examples, analog and digital transmission techniques in satellite channels, multiplexing and coding methods. Modulation and demodulation techniques and their performances will be examined and multiple access techniques in satellite systems will be discussed. Through these topics, students will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to understand the complex structure of satellite communication systems.
