  2. The First Satellite • The Soviet Sputnik satellite was the first to orbit Earth, launched on October 4, 1957. • Sputnik was a 23-inch (58-cm), 184-pound (83-kg) metal ball. • After 92 days, gravity took over and Sputnik burned in Earth's atmosphere.

  3. Satellite-Related Terms • Earth Stations – antenna systems on or near earth • Uplink – transmission from an earth station to a satellite • Downlink – transmission from a satellite to an earth station • Transponder – electronics in the satellite that convert uplink signals to downlink signals

  4. Ways to CategorizeCommunications Satellites • Coverage area • Global, regional, national • Service type • Fixed service satellite (FSS) • Broadcast service satellite (BSS) • Mobile service satellite (MSS) • General usage • Commercial, military, amateur, experimental

  5. Geometry Terms • Elevation angle - the angle from the horizontal to the point on the center of the main beam of the antenna when the antenna is pointed directly at the satellite • Minimum elevation angle • Coverage angle - the measure of the portion of the earth's surface visible to the satellite

  6. Minimum Elevation Angle • Reasons affecting minimum elevation angle of earth station’s antenna (>0o) • Buildings, trees, and other terrestrial objects block the line of sight • Atmospheric attenuation is greater at low elevation angles • Electrical noise generated by the earth's heat near its surface adversely affects reception

  7. Classification of Satellite Orbits • Circular or elliptical orbit • Circular with center at earth’s center • Elliptical with one foci at earth’s center • Orbit around earth in different planes • Equatorial orbit above earth’s equator • Polar orbit passes over both poles • Other orbits referred to as inclined orbits • Altitude of satellites • Geostationary orbit (GEO) • Medium earth orbit (MEO) • Low earth orbit (LEO)

  8. Frequency Bands Available for Satellite Communications

  9. Satellite Link Performance Factors • Distance between earth station antenna and satellite antenna • For downlink, terrestrial distance between earth station antenna and “aim point” of satellite • Displayed as a satellite footprint (Figure 9.6) • Atmospheric attenuation • Affected by oxygen, water, angle of elevation, and higher frequencies

  10. Satellite Footprint

  11. Satellite Network Configurations

  12. Capacity Allocation Strategies • Frequency division multiple access (FDMA) • Time division multiple access (TDMA) • Code division multiple access (CDMA)

  13. What is Global Positioning System(GPS) ? GPS is a Satellite Based Navigation System that Provides... • 3D Coordinates for Fixed and Moving Objects on Earth • A Nanosecond accurate universal time. • Information and data about the atmosphere around the globe • Time & Location data for military purposes • Managed and controlled by the U.S. Defense Dept. globally around the clock at almost clinical precision.

  14. Global Positioning System (GPS) • Started development in 1973 • First four satellites launched in 1978 • Full Operational Capacity (FOC) reached on July 17, 1995 • System cost of $12 billion • GPS provides both civilian and military positioning globally • GPS comprised of three “segments” • Space Segment (the satellites) • Ground Segment (the ground control network) • User Segment (GPS receiver and their users)

  15. GPS Satellite • NAVSTAR GPS satellite

  16. The GPS System ArchitectureOverview
