商品簡介
Satellite Communication Systems offers a comprehensive introduction to the technologies and principles that enable global mobile connectivity, a cornerstone of modern communication networks. As mobile communications have evolved from early cellular systems to advanced 4G and broadband technologies, the need for reliable coverage in remote, rural, and underserved regions has increased significantly, making satellite communication an essential solution. The book traces the historical development of mobile communication and examines major mobile satellite systems, including geostationary (GEO), medium Earth orbit (MEO), and low Earth orbit (LEO) constellations. It explains key orbital mechanics concepts, wireless channel characteristics, and radio link design fundamentals such as link budget analysis and multiple access techniques. The text also covers mobile network operations, system architecture, and the integration of satellite and terrestrial communication networks. In addition, it provides insights into market trends and emerging technologies, including hybrid satellite constellations and next-generation mobile broadband services.
