What is satellite?
Satellite is a repeater in thesky.
Receives uplink frequencies and translates todownlink frequencies and transmits back to theearth station after
Amplification The translation is done to avoid +ve feed
back.Trying to
receive and transmit an amplified version of the sameuplink waveform at the same satellite will causeunwanted feedback, or ring around, from the downlinkantenna back into the receiver

What is a communications satellite and how does it
work?
A communications satellite is a radio relay station in orbit above the earth thatreceives, amplifies, and redirects analog and digital signals carried on a specificradio frequency.In addition to communications satellites.
In satcom the satellite acts as a media for the data transfer between the source anddestination.Between the source and destination we use a pair of frequencies to communicate.The Satellite acts as a frequency translator and amplifier.

What are the different kinds of orbits?
An orbit is the path that a satellite follows as it revolves around Earth. In terms ofcommercial satellites, there are three main categories of orbits:
500-2,000 km above the earth These orbits are much closer to the Earth, requiring satellites to travel at a very
high speed inorder to avoid being pulled out of orbit by Earth's gravity At LEO, a satellite can circle the Earth in approximately one and a half hours
LEO( Low Earth Orbit)

MEO( Medium EarthOrbit)
8,000-20,000 km above the earth These orbits are primarily reserved for communications satellites that cover the
North andSouth Pole MEO's are placed in an elliptical (oval-shaped) orbit

GEO( GeosynchronousOrbit)
35,786 km above the earth
Orbiting at the height of 22,282 miles above the equator (35,786 km), thesatellitetravels in the same direction and at the same speed as the Earth's rotation on itsaxis,taking 24 hours to complete a full trip around the globe. Thus, as long as asatellite ispositioned over the equator in an assigned orbital location, it will appear to be
"stationary" with respect to a specific location on the Earth. A single geostationary satellite can view approximately one third of the
Earth's surface.If three satellites are placed at the proper longitude, the height of this orbit allowsalmost all of the Earth's surface to be covered by the satellites.

Polar OrbitingSatellite
These satellites orbit the earth in such a way as to cover the north and southpolar regions.
These satellites if in a low earth orbit have to travel at a very high speed.
These satellites can be kept in low earth orbit (800 -900 km) or at 36000kmapart.

Geo-SynchronousSatellite
Orbit on the equatorial plane - appears stationary
Altitude of 36000 Kms.
Circular orbit around earth with period of 24 hours.
Coverage of about 1/3 of Earth.
2 deg. apart. Identified by Longitudinal position with ref. to
Greenwich.
Advantage Of GeostationarySatellite
Simple ground station trackingrequirements.
Removes Satellite hand-overproblems.
Negligible Doppler shift

A disadvantage of Geostationary satellites is that points on Earthbeyond about 80 deg latitude are not visible.
Inclined orbits, on the other hand can provide visibility to thehighernorthern and southern latitudes, although they require earth stationsto continually track the satellite.

Geosynchronous
Geosynchronous means that the satellite is synchronized with the earth in time and
direction. It means that is time taken by a satellite to complete its orbit around earthis equal to the time taken by to earth rotates around its own axis.
Transponder
Frequency band on the satellite is divided into several channels. Each channels arecalled transponder Each transponder have 40 MHz.
Satellite Footprint
Coverage of entire surface of earth that is visible by thesatellite.

VSAT Technology in Satellite Communication
VSAT stands for Very Small Aperture Terminal
It is a two way satellite ground station.
VSATs are most commonly used to transmit narrowband data orbroadband data.
VSATs access satellites in geosynchronous orbit to relay data fromsmall remote
earth stations (terminals) to other terminals or master earth station "hubs.

As the Hub is a powerful receiver and retransmitter , the remote VSATsites are
comparatively small.
A central uplink site, such as a Network Operation Center (NOC), totransport
data back and forth to each VSAT terminal via satellite
VSATs communicate to Hub on Inroutes and the Hub Communicates to
VSATs onthe Outroute

Mesh Topology
Each VSAT terminal relays data via satellite to another terminal by acting asa hub, minimizing the need for a centralized uplink site.
VSATs are comparatively larger as they have to communicate directly witheach other
VSATs communicate directly with each other, Hub will be involved only forcall
setup and then fade out.( Hub will not be involved in permanent Circuits)

A BUC (Block Up-Converter) takes an L-Band input and transmits it upstream to thesatellite on Ka, Ku, or C band.
BUC's are rated according to their output
power. A low power Ka-Band BUC cantransmit with as little as 2 watts, while ahigh power C-Band BUC can transmit withas much as 200 watts.
