Objectives and Contents
Objectives of the Course Unit	The objective is to do calculations regarding the satellite communications between the sateelites and earth stations. Also designing along with different communication protocals are discussed and explained to the students.
Contents of the Course Unit	Explain the principles, concepts and operation of satellite communication systems. Describe the concepts of signal propagation affects, link design, rain fading and link availability and perform interference calculations.Understand modulation techniques and error correction codes for satellite communication. Use software tools to simulate and analyse the performance of satellite communication systems, and use real satellite up/down links (subject to the availability of satellite links) to conduct link experiments. Critically analyse the design requirements and the performance of satellite communication systemsEngineering and commercial aspects, orbital mechanics, look angles determination, orbital effects in system performance, spacecraft subsystems, transponders, antennas, satellite link design, modulation and multiplexing techniques used in satellite communication systems, multiple access ( FDMA, TDMA, CDMA).
Contribution of the Course Intending to Provide the Professional Education	The course widely contributes in the field of analog and digital communications.The professional education provided is used in Space and Technology besides for mobile communication systems.
