Abstract:
In this introductory chapter, a descriptive approach is followed to the characteristics and technologies of satellite communications through their use, with the main purpose of introducing the reader to basic satellite communications topics and facilitating a deeper understanding. A first mention is made to the historical development of satellite communications, giving at the same time fundamental definitions, basic concepts and quantities, which are widely used in satellite communications. The Organizations and the general issues are described, and the descriptive design of a satellite system is presented. In particular, the types and services of satellite systems are analyzed, a brief comparison with terrestrial communications is made, and frequency bands, propagation effects and their compensation are categorized. The chapter concludes with an analysis of the technological challenges of satellite communications.
