Communication Satellites have many interesting properties that make them easy and attractive for many applications. Can be thought of as a big microwave repeater in the sky. Contains several transponders, each of which listens to some portions of spectrum amplifies the incoming signals and then rebroadcasts it at another frequency to avoid interference.

properties that make them easy and attractive for many applications. Can be thought of as a big microwave repeater in the sky. Contains several transponders, each of which listens to some portions of spectrum amplifies the incoming signals and then rebroadcasts it at another frequency to avoid interference… Geosynchronous Satellites They are those satellites that travel at the same direction as our earth moves and have the same time period as earth(24 Hrs). A typical satellite has 12-20 transponders, each with a 36-50-MHz bandwidth. A 50-Mbps transponder can be used to encode a 50-Mbps data streams and various other combinations. In the earliest satellites the division of transponders was static, by splitting the bandwidth into Fixed Frequency Bands (FDM). But now TDM facility is also used due to its greater flexibility… Contd…. The first satellite had a single spatial beam that illuminated the entire earth. Each satellite is equipped with multiple transponders and antennas. Each downward beam can be focused on a small geographical area so that multiple upward and downward transmissions can take place simultaneously. These are called as Spot Beams and they are elliptically shaped… Development… VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminals) which are low cost micro station is the new development in the in the field of Communication Satellites. These tiny terminals have miniature antennas. In many VSAT systems, the microstations do not have enough power to communicate directly with one another. For this they use hub with a large antenna. In this mode either the sender or the receiver has a large antenna and a powerful amplifier. The trade-off is a longer delay in return for having cheaper end-user stations….. There are many properties that make the communication satellites different from the point-to point links. The large round trips introduces a substantial delay. From the security and privacy point of view satellites are a complete disaster. Encryption is essential when security is required… Advantages… Cost of transmitting a message is independent of the distance traversed. A call across an ocean is same as a call across a street. Have excellent error rates and can be deployed almost instantly. This is a major consideration for many military applications… Low-Orbit Satellites For the first 30 years of satellite eras, low orbit satellites were rarely used for communication because they zip into and out of view so quickly. Later in 1990 a plan was devised for the above, as soon as a satellite went out of view another would replace it. The Iridium system is an example. Iridium system Basic goal:- Provide worldwide telecommunications service using hand held devices that communicate directly with Iridium Satellites. It provides voice, data, paging, fax and navigation services all over the earth. It uses ideas from cellular radios… Contd…. Normally the cells are fixed, but the users are mobile. Here each satellite has a substantial number of spot beams that scan the earth as the satellite moves. Thus both the cells and the users are mobile in this system Contd…. The projected cost for the end user is about 3 dollars/minutes. If this technique can provide universal service all through the world for that price, it is unlikely that project would die for lack of services. Business and other travelers who want to be in touch all time can sign in even if they are in undeveloped areas. This system can face stiff competitions from PCS/PCN…. Satellites Vs Fibers ۩ It was all of a sudden that the terrestrial fiber connections looked like the long time winner. ۩ Communication Satellites have some major niche markets that the fiber does not and sometimes cannot address… First Niche ۩ A single fiber has more potential bandwidth than all the satellites ever launched. ۩ The fibers that are now being installed are used within the telephone system to handle many long distance calls at once. Contd…. ۩ With satellites, it is practical for the user to erect an antenna on the roof of the building and completely bypassing the phone system. Second Niche ۩ Is for mobile communications. Many people now a days want to communicate while moving. Fiber link optics are of no use now. But Satellite links potentially are… Contd… Third Niche ۩ Situations in which broadcastings are essential. A message sent by the satellites can be received by thousands of stations at once. ۩ Broadcasting facility through the satellite system is much cheaper than simulating a broadcast on the ground… Fourth Niche ۩ Communications in place with hostile or poor terrain infrastructure. ۩ Launching one satellite was much more easier than stringing thousands of undersea cables… Contd… Fifth Niche ۩ Obtaining the right way for laying fiber is difficult or unduly expensive. ۩ When rapid deployment is critical, as in military communication systems in time of wars, satellites win very easily… Conclusions The main stream of communications for future use will be terrestrial fiber optics combined with cellular radios, but for some specialized uses satellites are better. Although fiber optics offer more bandwidth it is certainly possible that terrestrial and satellite communications will compete belligerently on price. If advances in technology radically reduces the cost of deploying the satellites or low orbit satellites catch on, it is not certain that fibers win an all markets…
