In May 1945 Arther C. Clarke wrote an Article in

British Magazine “Wireless World” giving the idea
of Geostationary Satellite. The orbit is known with
his name as Clark Belt. The Kepler’s Law states that
1. The Orbital Plane of any Earth Satellite must
bisect the Earth centrally.
2. The earth must be at the centre of any orbit
 Types of Different orbits
 LEO (LOWER EARTH ORBIT)0-2000KM
 MEO(MEDIUM EARTH ORBIT)2000-35787KM
 GEO(GEOSTATIONARY EARTH ORBIT)
35,786KM.
It is locate at zero degree latitude over
Equator.Speed is 3.07km/s and 1.91 mi/s.
 Satellite Foot Print is defined as the area on the
Earth that its Transponders delivers or offer
services.It also determined the Satellite Dish
Diameter required to receive the signal from
satellite.This strength is s
hown in dBW.
The foot print provides the picture or snapshot of
sigmal level received at a location with respect to
EIRP Effective Isotopic Radiated power.
Why Satellite Communication ?
Communication over a longer distance

Increased flexibility than other systems
Cost is insensitive to distance
More reliability
Price is becoming more affordable
every year

INTELSAT ???
INternational TELecom SATellite Organization
Commercial global satellite system
Owned & operated by more than 100 nations
Provides modern, high quality services to its

members
Uses TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access)
Uses QPSK (Quadri Phase Shift Keying)

INTELSAT Family
Intermediate Data Rate(IDR) digital service is provided in
intelsat on FDMA Basis.The carriers is using coherent QPSK
Modulation operating at information rate 64Kbits/s to
44Mbits/s.The information is defined as any information
entering in the channel box prior to any overhead and FEC
Correction
Types of Earth Station Antennas
Standard A Earth Station Antenna
Standard B Earth Station Antenna

Geostationary Orbit
Also known as “Geosynchronous Orbit”
Stationary w.r.t. a particular point on earth
Height is almost 35,786 km

Covers approximately one third of earth
Orbital period is 24 hours, thus no need of

tracking the equipment
Round trip delay is 600 msec (can be eliminated

by “Echo Cancelers”)
Increased Capacity Requirements
Reuse of the available frequency spectrum
Reduce antenna beam’s size

Hub Series
• Series 15000 universal Hub (5IF)
1. 20 slots, up to 5 IF interfaces
2. INFINITI TDM/MF
TDMA(inbound),DVB-S2
/ACM(outbound)
3.Support Star, Mesh and SCPC
networks
4. Access up to 5 Satellites from one location.
IDIRECT (INTELLIGENT
PLATFORM
 MF –TDMA
Multi frequency TDMA is a mechanism for
sharing as satellite Uplink Channel. A selected
number of user have access to available BW for
small period of time known as Time Slot. The
IDIRECT Protocol Processor determine the
amount of time and frequency the remote site will
use for each Burst and provide the synchronized
Burst Plan to all Remotes.
 DVB-S2 is a digital satellite transmission system developed by the DVB Project. It
makes use of the latest modulation and coding techniques to deliver performance that
approaches the theoretical limit for such systems. Satellite
 transmission was the first area addressed by the DVB Project in 1993 and DVB
standards form the basis of most satellite DTV services around the world today, and
therefore of most digital TV in general. DVB-S2 will not replace DVB-S in the
 short or even the medium term, but makes possible the delivery of services that could
never have been delivered using DVB-S.
