this paper presents the design and simulation of a typical ka band satellite beacon receiver for propagation experimentation. using satellite beacon signal as a reference signal in satellite wave propagation study, is one of the most important methods. satellite beacons are frequently available for pointing large antennas, but such signals can be used for measuring the effect of natural phenome...

Current trend in telecommunications is “broadband” and “ubiquitous.” To achieve this goal, satellite communications systems are expected to play an important role in cooperation with terrestrial communications systems. Along with the advancement of optical fiber transmission systems, the role of satellite communications was dramatically changed from long distance transmission to various applica...

In this manuscript, a simple synthesis method of single square loop frequency selective surface (SSLFSS) is discussed, which may find the suitable application in the fast analysis and fabrication of the frequency-selective surface. The presented technique is used to design SSLFSS at 3 GHz, 15 GHz, 22GHz and 26GHz. At every frequency of interest, the analytical result is very close to the requir...

An interference channel is a network consisting N senders and N receivers. There exists a oneto-one correspondence between senders and receivers. Each sender only wants to communicate with its corresponding receiver, and each receiver only cares about the information form its corresponding sender. However, each channel interferes the others. So an interference channel has N principal links and ...

in this paper, we propose a unified and interactive mobile learning (M-Learning) model to help with expanding and spreading education in the Arab Homeland countries. The model utilizes a new competitive spot beam satellite communication technology, which enables efficient channel allocation, where communication channels can be allocated to specific and precise areas. The proposed model is refer...

We are delighted to bring to you this special issue on satellite communications, which we have prepared as part of the spreading of excellence remit of the satellite communications network of excellence (SatNEx). The SatNEx project, which began in 2004, is funded for five years under the Euro-pean Union's Sixth Framework Programme (FP6) Information Society Technologies (IST) Thematic Area. Led ...
