Topic outline

  • Satellite Communication


  • Introduction


    Rationale: Digital and Satellite Communication is one of the hottest areas in Telecommunication, Information Technology, Electrical and Electronic Branches.  Digital and Satellite Communication is a regular course for ETE, CSE, IT and EEE students, both in Undergraduate and in Post Graduate Level. Digital and satellite Communication has also found applications in all engineering disciplines. However, critical understanding of the concepts from both theoretical and practical dimension is still lacking. This program will help the faculty and students to bridge this gap and enable them to better concepts for real life applications. In this region, there is a certain scope to enrich the research activities as well as industrialization.  This course will be effective for the students, engineer, and industry personnel for enhancing the quality assessment of satellite communication system.

    Objective:   At the end of the course, the students will be able to:

    ·         Build an understanding of the basic ideas of Digital and Satellite Communication system.

    ·         Familiarize the student with the fundamental classification and terminology of the computer networking area.

    ·         Introduce the student to understand the advanced satellite communication system.

    ·         Prepare the student for entry advanced courses in Digital and Satellite Communication.

    ·         Allow the student to gain expertise in some specific areas of networking such as the design, broadcast and maintenance of individual broadcast network.
