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 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
