 HOW TO GET THROUGH

• Take time to understand every line.

• Problem solving is important.
• Be interactive.

9
 Objectives and Outcomes
• Learning Objectives
– To learn the basics of satellite communication systems
– To analyze the performances of different techniques used in satellite
communication systems.
• Course Outcomes Upon completion of the course, the students will be able to:
1. Critically analyze the design requirements and the performance of satellite
communication system.
2. Apply communication theory, modulation techniques, multiple access
technologies, error correction codes, telephone traffic analysis related to satellite
communication.
3. Compute link power budget for satellites in the presence of rain-induced
attenuation, ionospheric scintillation, fading, interference and other kinds of
propagation impairments.
4. Estimate bit error probability of spread spectrum satellite systems in the
presence of tone and pulsed jamming.
5. Explain the principles, concepts and operation of satellite communication
systems. 10
Class Environment and Things to Do….
