Satellite
Communication
o Satellite TX is much like line-of-sight
transmission in which one of the stations is the
satellite
orbiting around the earth
o The principle is similar to the
terrestrial microwave with a satellite acting as a Super
tall
antenna and Repeater
 |
o Although in satellite TX, signals must
still travel in straight line, the limitations
imposed
on distance by curvature of earth are reduced
o In this way satellites can span Continents
and oceans with one bounce off the satellite
o Satellite can provide TX capability to
and from any location on earth no matter how
remote
o This advantage makes high quality
communication available to underdeveloped parts
of
the worked at almost no cost
o Satellites themselves are very expensive
but leasing a freq or time on one can be
cheap
