This comprehensive, yet highly understandable, overview of satellite communication technology explores the inner workings of today's commercial "satcom" systems and explains how the key elements function and interact in the modern satellite communication network. The author provides engineers and nontechnical professionals alike with a clear picture of how satellites, ground control systems, and Earth stations work, separately and together, and explains which elements in the network are most critical to success.
