Electronics for space telecommunication systems  

Description

The aim of the course is to introduce the students to the design of a satellite link. Starting from the basic concepts of analog (AM, FM) and digital (ASK, FSK, PSK) modulations, the course analyzes the performances of the different techniques with respect to the noise. FDMA, TDMA and CDMA multiple access techniques are presented. Systemlevel aspects of satellite links (Doppler, range, visibility, atmospheric effects, etc.) are analyzed and the link equation is discussed in detail. Finally, the link design process is described, and several examples are given. During the course, practical sessions in the Ground Station of the School of Aerospace Engineering will be arranged to show the reception and decoding of the signals from amateur satellites in low Earth orbit.
