This subject covers the entire field of satellite communications engineering from
orbital mechanics to satellite design and launch, configuration and installation of earth
stations, including the implementation of communications links and the set-up of the
satellite network. This course provides a comprehensive treatment of satellite
communications systems engineering and discusses the technological applications. It
demonstrates how system components interact and details the relationship between the
system and its environment, to discuss the systems aspects such as techniques enabling
equipment and system dimensioning and state of the art technology for satellite
platforms, payloads and earth stations.
General Objectives of the Course:
• To meet curriculum requirements of the School of Engineering and Applied
Science.
Specific Objectives of the Course:
• To develop an understanding of the theory and practice of Satellite
Communications
To analyze principles of telecommunication wireless networks
