6 1.1 Satellite Communication Systems & Applications An SCS is a type of wireless communication systems. Features: Providing coverage over large geographical areas Resulting in interconnectivity between various communication resources Realising seamless coverage to combine satellite mobile communication systems with terrestrial mobile systems It is important to note the common and different characteristics between the SCS and other wireless communication systems. EE5404 Introduction 6
7 Basic Systems System Technology Space segment Ground segment missile + microwave Different from other terrestrial wireless communication systems, the SCS basically comprises Space and Ground segments. The communication will be built up between the space and ground segments. The characteristics of each segment depend on their applications such as fixed, mobile or direct broadcasting systems. With the missile technology, the space segments can be sent to a proper position in space. To reduce sizes of the segments, especially the space segments, the segments are made by microwave technology. The microwave technology also allows the use of high frequency to lower path losses.

9 Satellite Basic Systems Gateway Mobile Satellite System (MSS) In an MSS, the ground segments consist several types of mobile terminals, which can communicate each other directly and via a satellite. Also, they can be connected to fixed telecommunication networks through a satellite. Usually, the MSS can be categorized into three classes: maritime, aeronautical and land. Aircraft Fixed Network Ship EE5404 Introduction 9

11 Basic Elements Geostationary orbit is 35,786km over equator. The satellites orbiting the Earth in such an orbit rotate in unison with the Earth.They appear almost stationary to the users on the Earth. So, this minimizes the operational requirements of earth stations by simplifying tracking systems of ground terminals. Molniya Orbit Space Segment Ground Segment Any satellite communication system consists of at least one satellite and several terminals on the earth. The basic elements include the satellite, earth stations, and the orbit, where the satellite is moving on. EE5404 Introduction 11

The target of system design is the high signal quality. The important issues include kinds of services, cost of system, status of technology, network in use. The most important consideration is the selection of the radio frequency. The selection of the RF is strongly dependent on these factors. EE5404 Introduction 15

20 Conclusions Brief introduction of SCS Basic elements of SCS Main applications of SCS Allocations of frequency for satellite International organizations for SCS We just snapshot the satellite communication systems and their main applications. Compared to other wireless communication systems, the key features of the SCS are their radio link and operation frequency. Therefore, the system design strongly depends on the link design. In the following lectures, we are going to discuss the issues related to the link design. EE5404 Introduction 20
21 GPS Global Positioning System! What is GPS? Why GPS? How does GPS work?. EE5404 Introduction 21
22 What is GPS? The GPS is a worldwide radio-navigation system formed from a constellation of 24 satellites and their ground stations. GPS uses these "man-made stars" as reference points to calculate positions accurate to a matter of meters. In fact, with advanced forms of GPS you can make measurements to better than a centimeter! In a sense it's like giving every square meter on the planet a unique address. GPS receivers have been miniaturized to just a few integrated circuits and so are becoming very economical. And that makes the technology accessible to virtually everyone. These days GPS is finding its way into cars, boats, planes, construction equipment, movie making gear, farm machinery, even laptop computers. Soon GPS will become almost as basic as the telephone. Indeed, it just may become a universal utility. EE5404 Introduction 22
23 Why GPS? Trying to figure out where you are and where you're going is probably one of man's oldest pastimes. Navigation and positioning are crucial to so many activities and yet the process has always been quite cumbersome. Over the years all kinds of technologies have tried to simplify the task but every one has had some disadvantage. The result is the Global Positioning System, a system that's changed navigation forever EE5404 Introduction 23
24 How does GPS work? Here's how GPS works in five logical steps: 1.The basis of GPS is "triangulation" from satellites. 2.To "triangulate," a GPS receiver measures distance using the travel time of radio signals. 3.To measure travel time, GPS needs very accurate timing which it achieves with some tricks. 4.Along with distance, you need to know exactly where the satellites are in space. High orbits and careful monitoring are the secret. 5.Finally you must correct for any delays the signal experiences as it travels through the atmosphere. EE5404 Introduction 24
25 How does GPS work? Improbable as it may seem, the whole idea behind GPS is to use satellites in space as reference points for locations here on earth. That's right, by very, very accurately measuring our distance from three satellites we can " triangulate " our position anywhere on earth. Forget for a moment how our receiver measures this distance. We'll get to that later. First consider how distance measurements from three satellites can pinpoint you in space. Suppose we measure our distance from a satellite and find it to be 11,000 miles. Knowing that we're 11,000 miles from a particular satellite narrows down all the possible locations we could be in the whole universe to the surface of a sphere that is centered on this satellite and has a radius of 11,000 miles. Next, say we measure our distance to a second satellite and find out that it's 12,000 miles away. That tells us that we're not only on the first sphere but we're also on a sphere that's 12,000 miles from the second satellite. Or in other words, we're somewhere on the circle where these two spheres intersect. If we then make a measurement from a third satellite and find that we're 13,000 miles from that one, that narrows our position down even further, to the two points where the 13,000 mile sphere cuts through the circle that's the intersection of the first two spheres. So by ranging from three satellites we can narrow our position to just two points in space. EE5404 Introduction 25
26 How does GPS work? To decide which one is our true location we could make a fourth measurement. But usually one of the two points is a ridiculous answer (either too far from Earth or moving at an impossible velocity) and can be rejected without a measurement. A fourth measurement does come in very handy for another reason however, but we'll tell you about that later. Next we'll see how the system measures distances to satellites. 1.Position is calculated from distance measurements (ranges) to satellites. 2.Mathematically we need four satellite ranges to determine exact position. 3.Three ranges are enough if we reject ridiculous answers or use other tricks. 4.Another range is required for technical reasons to be discussed later.
