Introduction
In the early 1960s, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T)
released studies indicating that a few powerful satellites of advanced
design, could handle more traffic than the entire AT&T long-Distance
communications network. The cost of these satellites was estimated to be
only a fraction of the cost of equivalent terrestrial microwave facilities.
Unfortunately, because AT&T was a utility, government regulations
prevented them from developing the satellite systems. Smaller and much
less lucrative corporations were left to develop the satellite system, and
AT&T continued to invest billions of dollars each year in conventional
terrestrial microwave system Because of this, early developments in
satellite technology were slow in coming.
Throughout the years the prices of most goods and services have increased
substantially; however, satellite communications services have become more
affordable each year. In most instances, satellite systems offer more
flexibility than submarine cables, buried underground cables, line-of-sight
microwave radio, tropospheric sealer radio, or optical fiber systems.
Introduction (contd.)
Essentially, a communication satellite is a radio repeater in the sky (transponder) that
consist of a diverse combination of one or more of the following: receiver, transmitter,
amplifier, regenerator, filter, onboard computer, multiplexer, demultiplexer, antenna,
waveguide , and about any other electronic communication circuit
A satellite system consists of :
1. Transponder
2. Ground-based station to control its operation
3. User network of earth station that provide the facilities for transmission and
reception of communications traffic through the satellite system.
Satellite transmissions are categorized as either bus or payload. The bus includes
control mechanisms that support the payload operation. The payload is the actual user
information that is conveyed through the system. Although in recent years new data
services and television broadcasting are more and more in demand, the transmission of
conventional speech telephone signals in analog or digital form) is still the bulk of the
satellite payload.
