Orbital Distance Points
Orbital Distance Points
1. Orbital Distance: The distance between the satellite and the Earth station changes as the satellite moves
2. TDMA Impact: In TDMA systems, timing needs to be carefully adjusted to match the changes in distance
3. Correct Timing: The timing ensures that data is received at the right time by the user.
4. LEO/MEO Satellites: Low and medium Earth orbit satellites have more variation in distance.
5. GEO Satellites: Geostationary satellites have less variation because they stay at a fixed distance.
