Applications
Traditionally weather satellites radio and TV broadcast satellites military satellites satellites for navigation and localization (e.g., GPS)
Telecommunication global telephone connections backbone for global networks connections for communication in remote places or underdeveloped areas global mobile communication
satellite systems to extend cellular phone systems (e.g., GSM or AMPS)

LEO systems
Orbit 500 - 1500 km above earth surface visibility of a satellite ca. 10 - 40 minutes global radio coverage possible latency comparable with terrestrial long distance
connections, ca. 5 - 10 ms smaller footprints, better frequency reuse but now handover necessary from one satellite to another many satellites necessary for global coverage more complex systems due to moving satellites
Examples: Iridium (start 1998, 66 satellites)
Bankruptcy in 2000, deal with US DoD (free use, saving from “deorbiting”)
Globalstar (start 1999, 48 satellites) Not many customers (2001: 44000), low stand-by times for mobiles

ISL (Inter Satellite Links)• Intra-orbital links: connect consecutive
satellites on the same orbits• Inter-orbital links: connect two satellites on
different orbits
MEO systems
Orbit ca. 5000 - 12000 km above earth surface
comparison with LEO systems: slower moving satellites less satellites needed simpler system design for many connections no hand-over needed higher latency, ca. 70 - 80 ms higher sending power needed special antennas for small footprints needed
Example:
ICO (Intermediate Circular Orbit, Inmarsat) start ca. 2000 Bankruptcy, planned joint ventures with Teledesic, Ellipso – cancelled
again, start planned for 2003
Geostationary Earth Orbits (GEO)
Orbit 35,786 km distance to earth surface, orbit in equatorial plane (inclination 0°)
complete rotation exactly one day, satellite is synchronous to earth rotation
fix antenna positions, no adjusting necessary satellites typically have a large footprint (up to 34% of earth surface!),
therefore difficult to reuse frequencies bad elevations in areas with latitude above 60° due to fixed position
above the equator high transmit power needed high latency due to long distance (ca. 275 ms)
not useful for global coverage for small mobile phones and data transmission, typically used for radio and TV transmission

LNB (LOW NOISE BLOCK DOWN CONVERTER) • A device mounted in the dish, designed to amplify the satellite signals and
convert them from a high frequency to a lower frequency. LNB can be controlled to receive signals with different polarization. The television signals can then be carried by a double-shielded aerial cable to the satellite receiver while retaining their high quality. A universal LNB is the present standard version, which can handle the entire frequency range from 10.7 to 12.75 GHz and receive signals with both vertical and horizontal polarization.
DemodulatorA satellite receiver circuit which extracts or "demodulates" the "wanted "signals from the received carrier.
Decoder• A box which, normally together with a viewing card, makes it possible to view
encrypted transmissions. If the transmissions are digital, the decoder is usually integrated in the receiver.
• recorded video information to be played back using a television receiver tuned to VHF channel 3 or 4.

• ModulationThe process of manipulating the frequency or amplitude of a carrier in relation to an incoming video, voice or data signal.
• ModulatorA device which modulates a carrier. Modulators are found as components in broadcasting transmitters and in satellite transponders. Modulators are also used by CATV companies to place a baseband video television signal onto a desired VHF or UHF channel. Home video tape recorders also have built-in modulators which enable the

Fixed Service Satellites (FSS)• Example: Point to Point Communication
Broadcast Service Satellites (BSS)• Example: Satellite Television/Radio• Also called Direct Broadcast Service (DBS).
Mobile Service Satellites (MSS)• Example: Satellite Phones

Objective of a link analysis• Link analysis determines properties of
satellite equipment (antennas, amplifiers, data rate, etc.)
• Two links need to be planned– Uplink – from ground to satellite– Downlink – from satellite to ground
• Two way communication – 4 links (two way maritime communications)
• One way communication – 2 links (example – TV broadcast)
• Two links are not at the same frequency • Two links may or may not be in the same
band– Fixed / broadcast satellite services –
usually same band– Mobile satellite services may use
different bands• In some systems satellite links may be
combined with terrestrial returns

Elements of a satellite link• Transmit power• TX antenna gain• Path losses
– Free space– TX/RX antenna losses– Environmental losses
• RX antenna gain• RX properties
– Noise temperature– Sensitivity (S/N and ROC)
• Design margins required to guarantee certain reliability
Page 27
Note: satellite signals are usually very weak – requires careful link budget planning
28
Free space path loss – transmit side
• Free Space Path Losses (FSPL) due to dispersion of EM wave energy
• Antenna used to focus the energy of the wave in the direction of the receiver
• Note: antenna gain is usually quoted in the direction of radiation maximum. For other direction need to use the actual radiation pattern

Additional losses• Additional losses
– Misalignment of the antennas– Atmospheric losses– Radome losses
• The additional losses are taken into account through appropriate design margins
• Typical design margin 5-10dB– Component accuracy– Operating frequency– Required reliability
