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 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
