A satellite communications system is based on antennas in a stable orbit above the earth. Satellites serve as relay stations in the sky. The basic idea of satellite communications is that two stations on earth discuss via one or more satellites. So a little bit of satellite-related terminology: 1. Earth station is an antenna on or near the surface of the earth. 2. Uplink is a transmission from ...

in this paper satellite wave propagation at ku and ka band is considered. the design and simulation of a typical satellite beacon receiver at ka band is designed and simulated for the future works. also rain attenuation prediction at ku band using satellite signal beacon measurement and simulations for iran telecommunication research center (itrc) are presented. the measurement setup consists o...

Satellite communication is one of the most popular next generation communication technologies for global communication networks in parallel to terrestrial communication networks. In modern age military intelligence, navigation & positioning, weather forecasting, digital video Broadcasting (DVB), and broadband internet services, are the few demanding applications of Satellite communication. Alth...

In this paper, we propose a verification method for risk management system of the electric power grid (RMS-EPG) using satellite communication network. The RMS-EPG with satellite communication network should be verified with various contingencies for its design and maintenance. For the verification of RMS-PG, the proposed system composed of the satellite communication simulator and the Power flo...

Communication in the whole of the World is revolutionized with the advent of Satellites. Satellite Communication has served mankind in many ways e.g. to predict weather, storm warning, provide wide range of communication services in the field of relaying television programs, digital data for a multitudes of business services and most recent in telephony and mobile communication. It may not surp...

Artificial satellites were first deployed in the late 1950s. They have since brought about enormous progress in telecommunications. All communication satellites in their simplest form are concerned mainly with information communication from a source (transmitter) on the ground to a sink (receiver) that is at a geographically dispersed location through a satellite in space (acting as a retransmi...

In this paper we highlight the fact that a huge amount of information is sent unsecured via satellite broadcast data channels (here: encapsulated in DVB-s). By applying straightforward data analysis it is possible for any attacker equipped with a digital satellite dish and a DVB card PC to derive extensive confidential information on single users (e.g., legal name, banking details, monthly inco...
