Satellite Communication Systems Engineering

by Wilbur L. Pritchard

Detailing concepts and calculations from the entire field, this text is sophisticated enough to permit the kinds of analysis needed for major systems planning decisions while it avoids the highly theoretical work found in the literature on special disciplines. This second edition covers channel capacity, picture quality, signal to noise ration, bit error rate, earth station antenna size, and offers new material on orbital mechanics and geometry. For satellite communications systems engineers.
