Engineer's Handbook for Earth Station Design and Implementation

This new handbook covers all aspects of earth station design & is intended to be a handy reference for designing & implementing an earth station. The principal aim of the handbook is to provide, in one source, the information & equations needed to design, specify, & implement each station. The handbook is divided into five sections covering the following topics: I: Introduction. II: Transmission Link Parameters, Subsystem Parameters, Modulation, Coding Techniques, Channel Requirements, Multiplexing Techniques, Multiple Access Techniques & Tracking. III: Amplitude & Phase Distortion, Group Delay Distortion, Intermodulation Distortion, AM to PM Conversion & Amplitude & Frequency Stability. IV: Typical models for calculating the reliability of example redundant subsystems. V: High Power Amplifiers, Low Noise Amplifiers, Frequency Converters, Group Delay & Amplitude Slope Equalizers, Frequency & Time Standards, AC Power & Uninterruptable Power Systems, Radomes & Monitor & Control Systems.
