Satellite Communications Systems: Design Principles

by M. Richharia

As the telecommunications industry continues to expand its reach around the globe, satellite system design is increasingly key. This book provides an in-depth look at the basics of designing the elements and components that comprise a satellite communication system, including the geosynchronous satellites prevalent in mobile communications. Aimed at a broad spectrum of readers-from engineering professionals to graduate students-the book focuses on design fundamentals rather than specific systems, and eschews long mathematical derivations in favor of practical design concepts, guidelines, and models.
