Satellite Communications – State of the ArtCourse # P216March 10-12, 2015Columbia, Maryland$1790 (8:30am - 4:00pm)"Register 3 or More & Receive $100 00 eachOff The Course Tuition."SummaryModern satellite communications networks and systemsrely on innovations in both the radio frequency (RF) andbaseband domains. Introduction and application of thesecutting-edge technologies and processes are addressed bythis in-depth three day course. Established during the lastdecade, technologies that make a difference include highthroughput satellites, high power solid state amplifiers (up toone kW), array antennas for mobile platforms, channellinearization, turbo codes, DVB-S2 extensions and adaptivecoding and modulation (ACM). The path forward involves theright choices in terms of which technologies and theirintroduction – and the use of integrating tools such as systemsimulation and optimization. Investments in new satellites,earth stations and network management systems need theright system-level view, and at the same time, demand athorough understanding of the underlying details within theRF aspects (propagation, link availability and throughput) aswell as the ability of baseband systems to provide throughputunder expected conditions and to end users. The courseexamines real options and makes use of quantitative analysismethods and systems analysis to evaluate the technologyhorizon.InstructorBruce R. Elbert, MSEE, MBA, Adjunct Professor (ret),College of Engineering, University ofWisconsin, Madison. Mr. Elbert is arecognized satellite communications expertand has been involved in the satellite andtelecommunications industries for over 40years. He founded ATS to assist major privateand public sector organizations that developand operate cutting-edge networks usingsatellite technologies and services. During 25years with Hughes Electronics (now Boeing Satellite Systems,Intelsat and DIRECTV), he directed the design of severalmajor satellite projects, including Palapa A, Indonesia’soriginal satellite system; the Galaxy follow-on system; and thedevelopment of the first GEO mobile satellite system capableof serving handheld user terminals. Mr. Elbert directedengineering of several Hughes GEO communicationssatellites, including Morelos (SATMEX), Palapa B, Galaxy 4and 5, and Sky (News Corp). He was also ground segmentmanager for the Hughes system, which included eightteleports and 3 VSAT hubs. He served in the US Army SignalCorps as a radio communications officer and instructor.By considering the technical, business, and operationalaspects of satellite systems, Mr. Elbert has contributed to theoperational and economic success of leading organizations inthe field. He has written nine books on telecommunicationsand IT, including Introduction to Satellite Communication,Third Edition (Artech House, 2008).The SatelliteCommunication Applications Handbook, Second Edition(Artech House, 2004); The Satellite Communication GroundSegment and Earth Station Handbook, Second Edition(Artech House, 2014), the course text.Course OutlineThe current state-of-the-art in satellite communicationssystems.• Orbit and spectrum resources available in North• Satellite operators and their orbital resources• The ground segment – operators and capabilities• Satellite footprint coverage and antenna structures• Low noise front ends• Switching and processing• High power amplification and linearization• Spacecraft support – power, thermal and structural• Large versus small satellites – trades on cost and riskEarth station design innovation• Antenna systems• Monitor and control• Review of DVB-S2 and turbo codes• Extensions to DVB-S2 (DVB-Sx)• The next wave of ACM – enhanced VSAT networks (twoway services), 2D 16 State TCM• Integration with IP and the terrestrial network• Characterization of the bent pipe transponde• Traffic bearing capability of multi-beam systems• Classification of interference – harmful, unacceptable,acceptable• RFI location using interferometry• Carrier ID – on the carrier, under the carrier• RFI investigation process• Role of good operating practices• Update on propagation – Ka band impacts from rain andclouds• Transponder characterization• Operating modes• Test and simulation tools• The business of the satellite operator – how to make betterdeals• Trends in COTM as related to aeronautical and maritime• Technology development and introduction – on the groundand in space• How to anticipate changes in requirements and technology• Planning for the future – discussionWhat You Will Learn• Current and projected satellite designs, payloads andcapabilities.• Structure of ground segments, earth stations and userterminals looking forward.• Terminals and networks for high speed communications onthe move (COTM).• Innovative systems engineering concepts and solutions –simulation using STK and other tools.• Evolving standards used in the baseband and network –DVB-Sx (extensions), ACM in its next generation, InternetProtocol acceleration.• The future built around solid state amplifiers – GaNtechnology, linearization, single and multi carrieroperations under highly dynamic conditions.• Innovations in multiple access systems – MF-TDMA,CDMA, carrier cancellation, 2D-16 State Trellis CodedModulation (TCM).• Control of radio frequency interference (RFI) – overcomingchallenges in mobile and broadband applications.• Planning steps for upgrading or replacing current withstate-of-the-art technology.• How technology will evolve in coming years, reflectingchanges in technology and user requirements.54 – Vol. 119 Register online at www.ATIcourses.com or call ATI at 888.501.2100 or 410.956.8805
Satellite Communications Systems-AdvancedSurvey of Current and Emerging Digital SystemsCourse # P110SummaryThis three-day course covers all the technologyof advanced satellite communications as well as theprinciples behind current state-of-the-art satellitecommunications equipment. New and promisingtechnologies will be covered to develop anunderstanding of the major approaches. Networktopologies, VSAT, and IP networking over satellite.Material will be complemented with a continuouslyevolving example of the application of systemsengineering practice to a specific satellitecommunications system. The example will addressissues from the highest system architecture down tocomponent details, budgets, writing specifications,etc.InstructorDr. John Roach is a leading authority in satellitecommunications with 35+ years in the SATCOMindustry. He has worked on many developmentprojects both as employee and consultant /contractor. His experience has focused on thesystems engineering of state-of-the-art systemdevelopments, military and commercial, from theworldwide architectural level to detailed terminaltradeoffs and designs.
