    Chapter 4:- Satellite Communication
    System
    ➢ It is one kind of wireless communication
    which uses artificial satellite to
    communicate. This kind of
    communication provides services like
    voice, internet, video calling, TV, radio
    channels, Fax, etc.
    ➢ This communication can be possible for
    long distances, and it can be operated
    under some conditions.
    ➢ The artificial satellite can be placed
    within space to make possible
    communication between the different
    points on the globe.
    Types of Satellite Communication
    The satellite-communication can be classified into three types which include the
    following.

    1). Fixed Satellite


    This system aids in data transmission across the world through permanent points
    on the surface of the earth.

    2). Mobile Satellite


    This system is used in connecting aircraft, and ships at remote places.

    3). Research Satellite


    This kind of system is mainly useful in different research methods for the
    researchers. They gather the required data using the research satellite system.
    How does it Work?
    In this type of communication, the satellite is arranged at the space to get the
    signals from the globe by using an antenna. These signals are improved to the
    best level and after that, they have transmitted again back to the globe using
    transponders. Then the earth station gets the signals from the satellite, changes
    again and assists in communication.
    Three stages are involved, which
    explain the working of satellite
    communications.

    •Uplink
    •Transponders
    •Downlink
    Satellite Communication Services

    There are two categories in which satellite communication


    services can be classified:

    •One-way satellite communication

    •Two- way satellite communication


    One-way Satellite Communication
    • In one-way satellite communication, the communication usually takes place
    between either one or multiple earth stations through the help of a satellite.
    • The communication takes place between the transmitter on the first earth
    satellite to the receiver which is the second earth satellite.
    • The transmission of the signal is unidirectional.

    Some common one-way satellite communication is:


    Position location services
    Tracking is a part of space operations services
    Internet services take place with broadcasting satellites
    One-way Satellite Communication
    Two-Way Satellite Communication

    • In two-way satellite communication, the information


    is exchanged between any two earth stations. It can be
    said that there is a point-to-point connectivity.

    • The signal is transmitted from the first earth station to


    the second earth station such that there are two uplinks
    and two downlinks between the earth stations and the
    satellite.
    Two-Way Satellite Communication
    Types of orbits
    ❖ Geosynchronous
    Same rotational velocity as earth
    Maintains position relative to the earth
    Altitude 35786 Km
    Velocity 11300 Km per Hour

    ❖ Asynchronous
    Much lower altitude= much higher velocity
    Position over earth constantly changing.
    Types of orbits

    GEO: 36000 km from the earth


    MEO: 6000- 20000 km from the
    earth

    LEO: 500- 1500 km from the


    earth
    Geostationary Equatorial Orbit (GEO)

    • Objects in Geostationary orbit revolve around the earth at


    the same speed as the earth rotates.
    • This means Geo satellites remain in the same position relative
    to the surface of the earth.
    • Because of the long distance from the earth, it gives large
    coverage area.
    • High transmit power needed and launching of satellites to
    orbit are complex and expensive.
    • Not useful for global coverage for small mobile phones and
    data transmission, typically used for Tv and radio
    transmission.
    Low Earth Orbit (LEO)

    • LEO satellites are much closer to the earth than GEO


    satellites, ranging from 500 to 1500 Km above the
    surface.
    • LEO satellites don’t stay in fixed position relative to the
    surface and are only visible for 15 to 20 minutes each
    pass.
    • Handover necessary from one satellite to another.
    • Need for routing.
    Medium Earth Orbit (MEO)

    • MEO satellites have a larger coverage than LEO


    satellites.
    • A MEO satellite’s longer duration of visibility and wider
    footprint means fewer satellites are needed in a MEO
    network than a LEO Network.
    • A MEO satellite’s distance gives it a longer time delay
    and weaker signal a LEO satellite, though not as bad as
    a GEO satellite.
    Advantages of Satellite Communication

    The following are the advantages of satellite


    communication:
    • Easily installed.
    • Possibilities of broadcasting, and the network can be controlled
    by the user.
    • The elasticity of these circuits is excellent (Flexibility).
    • With the help of satellite communication, every corner of the
    earth can be covered.
    • The user fully controls the network.
    Disadvantages of Satellite Communication

    The following are the disadvantages of satellite


    communication:

    •Initial expenditure is expensive.

    •There are chances of blockage of frequencies.

    •Propagation and interference.


    Applications of Satellite Communication System
    • This type of communication is used in ships, where
    mobile phones are not operated. So, satellite phones
    are used in communication.

    • The satellite phones, radios, TVs works on the


    satellite-communication principle.

    • This kind of communication is mainly used in distant


    areas.
