Main types of satellite
Astronomical satellites: used for observation of distant planets,galaxies, and other outer space objects.
Navigational satellites [GPS, Galileo]: they use radio timesignals transmitted to enable mobile receivers on the ground todetermine their exact location.
Earth observation satellites: used for environmentalmonitoring, meteorology, map making.
Miniaturized satellites: satellites of unusually low masses andsmall sizes.
Communications satellites: stationed in space for the purposeof telecommunications. Modern communications satellitestypically use geosynchronous orbits, or Low Earth orbits (LEO).

Characterization
Analog signal Digital signal
Bandwidth [Hz] Bit rate [bit/s]
Signal to Noise ratio (S/N) Bit error rate (BER)
Bandwidth of the underlying channel [Hz]
Going digital because:
possibility to regenerate a digital signal
better bandwidth usage
analog PAL television signal: bandwidth of 8 [MHz ]digital television, PAL quality ∼ 5 [Mb/s]
With a 64-QAM modulation, whose spectral e�ciency is 6b/sper Hz . 8 [MHz] allows for 48 [Mb/s].Therefore, there is room for 10 digital television instead of oneanalog channel.

where W is the bandwidth occupied by the signal, S is the signalpower and N =WN0 is the Gaussian noise variance.
Let R be the bit rate and Eb the energy per bit (in joules), we haveS = EbR , and

The ratio RW
is the spectral e�ciency expressed in [b/s] per [Hz ].

Bit/packet error rate
Assume a packet of size N and let Pe be the probability error onone bit.
The probability for the packet to be correct is
(1−Pe)N (3)
Therefore the packet error rate is
PP = 1− (1−Pe)N (4)
For large packets and small Pe , this becomes
PP ' 1− (1−NPe) = N×Pe (5)
Example
With N = 105 bits and a bit error rate of Pe = 10−7, PP ' 10−2.

Modulation
A cosine cos(2πfct) is the carrier. s(t) is the modulated signal
s(t) = A(t)cos(2πf (t)t+φ(t)) (6)
A(t): Amplitude Modulation (AM)
f (t): Frequency Modulation (FM)
φ(t): Phase Modulation (PM)

Quadrature modulationIt is possible to use both a cosine and a sine with a uniquebandwidth.
s(t) = sI (t)cos(2πfct)− sQ(t)sin(2πfct) (7)
![Page 20: Satellite Communications · Satellite Communications Marc Van Droogenbroeck Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of Liège ...

Quadrature demodulation
s(t) = sI (t)cos(2πfct)− sQ(t)sin(2πfct) is the modulated signal.
We want to recover sI (t)
Step 1: multiply by cos(2πfct)
s(t)× cos(2πfct) = sI (t)cos2 (2πfct)− sQ(t)sin(2πfct)cos(2πfct)

Spread spectrum for Code Division Mulplexing
Principle of spread spectrum: multiply a digital signal with a fasterpseudo-random sequence.
At the receiver, the pseudo-random sequence is generated and usedto despread the signal.

Noise
The noise power PN is given by the Nyquist formula:
PN = kBT W (20)
where
kB = 1,38×10−23 [J/K ] is the constant of Boltzmann(=198 [dBm/K/Hz ] ==228.6 [dBw/K/Hz ]),
T is the equivalent noise temperature of the noise source
W is the noise bandwidth
