Course Holder: Prof. dr. eng. Teodor PETRESCU
Laboratory holder: Prof. dr. eng. Alina BĂDESCU

The principles of analysis and design of satellite communication systems are presented. The different types of satellite communication systems are reviewed, with an emphasis on modern, state-of-the-art systems that provide personal communications using intelligent satellites. Topics of interest in the field such as the services offered, the principles of orbital mechanics, specific antenna and propagation issues, the influence of noise, interference and intermodulation, link budgets, specific characteristics of satellite on-board equipment operation, etc. are addressed.
