► the useful range of frequencies lie between 150Mhz-
150Ghz
► it is line of sight communication limited by horizon due
to the curvature of the earth
► Signal propagation is affected by free space attenuation
► Frequency / Phase modulation technique are employed
► Spread spectrum or Time sharing techniques are used

Frequency for space communication depends on
1. Band width required
2. Noise consideration
3. Propagation factor
4. Technology
Most of the sat.Com uses 6/4Ghz frequency band
1. Less Atmospheric Absorption2. Less noise both galactic and manmade3. Less Space loss compared to high frequency

Kinds of Communication Satellites
depends on type of orbit and freq. band used.
Communication Satellite can be classified by the
orbit used and also by frequency band used.
natural laws that control the movement of satellites.
These are based on Kepler's laws
1.The orbit plane of any earth satellite must bisect
the Earth centrally.
2.The Earth must be at the centre of any orbit.
Satellite Communication
05/02/14 RTTC  SATCOM 21
The choice of orbit is restricted to three basic types.
1.polar,
2.equatorial
3.inclined

MULTIPLE ACCESS TECHNIQUES
the number of earth stations to be
interconnected is such larger than the number of
transponders
the capacity of a transponder is much more
than what is required between a pair of earth
stations;

 Transponder BW is divided into smaller
frequency bands and assigning them to
different E/S
 E/S transmitting the carriers towards the
satellite within the assigned frequency bands
 Retransmitting the carriers from satellite after
frequency translation and amplification by a
common transponder
 E/S receives all the carriers which contain
telephony channels meant for the E/S
