Die Satellitenkommunikation (German)

Satellite communications are evolving - not only in television distribution, but also in multimedia business communications and mobile communications. This book gives you a comprehensive insight into the relevant aspects of this form of communication.

Hans Dodel, Sabrina Eberle

First, the basics are explained in detail: The importance of different satellite orbits and frequency coordination are explained. A route balance is calculated and the relevant coding, encryption and modulation techniques are described. Multiple access protocols are also covered. The author then focuses on applications and current developments in satellite communications. Classic fixed communications are explained and contrasted with the most advanced VSAT networks; classic mobile communications are contrasted with modern "personal communications". Military applications are also considered, as well as the important aspect of cost effectiveness compared to terrestrial solutions.
