Overview
• Satellite is a microwave repeater in the
space.
• There are about 750 satellite in the
space, most of them are used for
communication.
• They are:
– Wide area coverage of the earth’s surface.
– Transmission delay is about 0.3 sec.
– Transmission cost is independent of distance.
• Satellite up links and down links can operate
in different frequency bands:
Band Up-Link (Ghz) Down-link ISSUES
(Ghz)
C 4 6 Interference with
ground links.

Ku 11 14 Attenuation due to rain

Ka 20 30 High Equipment cost

• The up-link is a highly directional, point to point link


• The down-link can have a footprint providing coverage for a
substantial area "spot beam“.
Orbits:
• LEO: Low Earth Orbit.
• MEO: Medium Earth Orbit
• GEO: Geostationary Earth Orbit
• At the Geostationary orbit the satellite covers 42.2%
of the earth’s surface.
• Theoretically 3 geostaionary satellites provides 100%
earth coverage
MAC(Media Access Control)
protocols for satellite links
• ALOHA:
• Every station can transmit any time
• Very low efficiency 18- 36 %.
• FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access)
• It is the oldest and most common.
• the available satellite channel bandwidth is
broken into frequency bands for different earth
stations.
• TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access)
• channels are time multiplexed sequentially
• Each earth station gets to transmit in a fixed
time slot only.
• More than one time slot can be assigned to
stations with more bandwidth requirements.
• Requires time synchronization between the
Earth Stations.
• CDMA : (Code Division Multiple Access)
• Combination of time/frequency multiplexing
( a form of spread spectrum modulation).
• It provides a decentralized way of providing
separate channels without timing
synchronization. It is a relatively new scheme
but is expected to be more common in future
satellites.
VSAT Network
• At the Very Small Aperture Terminal a lower
performance microwave transceiver and lower gain
dish antenna (smaller size) is used.

• VSAT networks are arranged in a star based topology.

• Ideal for centralized networks with a central host


(Banking institutions with branches all over the
country).

• Use the S-ALOHA and TDMA


DirecPC services:

• One of the most useful applications of VSAT


networks
• Comes with an ISA computer card, a RF dish
antenna (2 ft dia) equipped with an LNA,
and supporting software.
Supporting two kinds of services
1. Digital Package Delivery
2. Turbo Internet
1. Digital Package Delivery

• downloading files at a speed 100 times faster


than that supported by public telephone
network.

• Large files can be received by multiple


DirecPC end points.

• The download requests are made using the


standard analog modem over telephone lines.
2. Turbo Internet
• The end user overcomes the telephone line
barrier and is capable of receiving data at
400 kbps.
• A connection is setup with the local ISP
(internet server provider) using the analog
telephone line modem.
• All mouse and keyboard actions in the web
browser are communicated to the web
server on the other end using this link.
