PrefaceSatellite communication is one <strong>of</strong> the most impressive spin-<strong>of</strong>fs from spaceprograms, <strong>and</strong> has made a major contribution to the pattern <strong>of</strong> internationalcommunications. The engineering aspect <strong>of</strong> satellite communicationscombines such diverse topics as antennas, radio wave propagation, signalprocessing, data communication, modulation, detection, coding, filtering,orbital mechanics, <strong>and</strong> electronics. Each is a major field <strong>of</strong> study <strong>and</strong> eachhas its own extensive literature. Satellite Communication <strong>Engineering</strong> emphasizesthe relevant material from these areas that is important to the book’ssubject matter <strong>and</strong> derives equations that the reader can follow <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong>.The aim <strong>of</strong> this book is to present in a simple <strong>and</strong> concise manner thefundamental principles common to the majority <strong>of</strong> information communicationssystems. Mastering the basic principles permits moving on to concreterealizations without great difficulty. Throughout, concepts are developedmostly on an intuitive, physical basis, with further insight provided byCopyright © 2002 by Marcel Dekker, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
