Mastering Satellite Communication: Specializations and Opportunities

AI Thread Summary
Satellite communication encompasses various specializations, primarily focusing on communications satellites and scientific applications. A strong foundation in communication theory is essential, along with practical experience through internships at companies like Hughes, Boeing, or XM. Resources such as the ARRL's "Satellite Handbook" and Wikipedia provide valuable insights into satellite communication and frequency bands like Ka, Ku, and C. Exploring these areas can enhance understanding and career opportunities in the field. Mastering satellite communication requires both theoretical knowledge and practical experience.

Hi all,
I want to ask about satellite communication, How many Specialization in this field if someone want to take master in it

Do you mean communications satellites? Or other NASA/scientific satellites? I would think that a heavy emphasis on communication theory would serve you well, as well as perhaps an internship at a company that designs and deploys comm satellites.

thank you Berkeman
 
You might search a bit for Ka, Ku, and C radio frequency bands which are allocated for satellite use. try checking "GPS" system...

Also, try Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_communication

The article gives a decent overview...and note MANY references at the end of the article.
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Two capacitors, etc.'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
