Satellite Communication Engineering

Satellite communication is one of the most impressive spin-offs from space programs, and has made a major contribution to the pattern of international communications. The engineering aspect of satellite communications
combines such diverse topics as antennas, radio wave propagation, signal processing, data communication, modulation, detection, coding, filtering, orbital mechanics, and electronics. Each is a major field of study and each has its own extensive literature. Satellite Communication Engineering emphasizes the relevant material from these areas that is important to the book’s subject matter and derives equations that the reader can follow and understand.
