The book is written for those concerned with the design and performance of satellite
communications systems employed in fixed point-to-point, broadcasting, mobile, radionavigation,
data-relay, computer communications, and related satellite-based applications. The
recent rapid growth in satellite communications has created a need for accurate information on
both satellite communications systems engineering and the impact of atmospheric effects on
satellite link design and system performance. This book addresses that need for the first time
in a single comprehensive source.
Significant progress has been made in the last decade in the understanding and modeling of
propagation effects on radiowave propagation in the bands used for satellite communications,
including extensive direct measurements and evaluation utilizing orbiting satellites. This book
provides a single source for a comprehensive description and analysis of all the atmospheric
effects of concern for today’s satellite systems and the tools necessary to design the links and
evaluate system performance. Many of the tools and calculations are provided in a ‘handbook’
form, with step-by-step procedures and all necessary algorithms are in one place to allow direct
calculations without the need to consult other material.
The book provides the latest information on communications satellite link design and
performance from the practicing engineer perspective – concise descriptions, specific procedures,
and comprehensive solutions. I focus on the satellite free-space link as the primary
element in the design and performance for satellite communications. This focus recognizes and
includes the importance of free-space considerations such as atmospheric effects, frequency
of operation, and adaptive mitigation techniques.
