Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

Understanding of the architecture of satellite communication systems and satellite positioning systems and the main design principles and performance trade-off. The class covers the ground, space, and user segments fundamentals from a Communication Theory perspective.

Contenuti

The course is organized into two main parts: Satellite Communications Systems and Satellite Positioning and Navigation Systems.

The first part addresses the main elements of a Satellite System Communication Architecture

  • ground, space, user segments
  • user and feeder links
  • orbits and constellations
  • link budget
  • payload
  • antennas
  • Multibeam and single beam systems
  • SatCom services: broadcast and broaband, fixed and mobile
  • The Digital Video Broadcasting S2 standard

The second part, using several principles and concepts introduced in the first part, focuses on Satellite Positioning systems:

  • Positioning principles
  • Positioning principles applied to satellite systems
  • the GPS system
  • the Galileo system
