whats mean by sATELLITE ?

  • A Satellite is a solid object which revolves
    around some body due to the effect of
    gravitational forces OR
  • a satellite is an object which has been placed
    into orbit by human endeavour.
  • Active satellites
  • Passive Satellites
  • Active satellites are complicated structures
    having a processing equipment called Transponder
    .
  • An active satellite acts as a REPEATER
  • Natural satellites
  • artificial satellites.
  • A passive satellite only reflects received
    signals back to earth.
  • Ex.moon is a natural satellite of earth

History of Satellites

  • The world’s first artificial satellite is the
    Sputnik 1
  • was launched in 1957
  • First satellite that was used for communication
    purpose in INDIA was -ARYABHATTA (19
    April 1975)
  • The first geostationary communication satellite
    -SYNCOM 3(19 Aug 1963).
  • Father of geostationary communication satellite
    is
  • -HAROLD ROSEN
  • (Aircraft engineer)

Layer Of Atmosphere

  • TROPOSPHERE
  • STRATOSPHERE
  • MESOSPHERE
  • THERMOSPHERE
  • EXOSPHERE

  • 1 Message signal.
  • 2 tranmitted signal.
  • 3 received signal.
  • 4 message signal.

7
What are the components of a satellite?

  • Many satellites are powered by rechargeable
    batteries.
  • Small thrusters provide attitude i.e. stabilize
    the satellite’s position in space.

8
How Satellites Work

  • A Earth Station sends message in GHz range
    (Uplink).
  • Satellite Receive and retransmit signals back.
    (Downlink)
  • Difference between Downlink and Uplink frequency
    is
  • 2 GHz.

9
Why geostationary satellite are launched 36,000
km from the center of the earth? 

  • 1.Gravitational force attraction between any
    two objects, given by
  • 2.Centrifugal forcean outward-directed force
    that normally balances the inward-directed
    centripital force
  • There are two relevant forces involved in this
    problem

We know G 6.67 x 10-11 Nm2kg-2 me 5.97 x

Hence, substituting the above constants into
gives
As we know
The tangential velocity of the satellite (vs) is
related to its orbital period, T so,
Then T? and sqaring
R 35,786 km for center of earth Near about
36,000 km.
11
How do satellites stay in orbit?

  •   Satellites never fall into the Earth this
    because Earth is round and curves.
  • Satellites stay in orbit due to the balance of
    two factors
  • Velocity and
  • Gravitational pull between the Earth and the
    satellite.

12
Satellite Frequency Bands

  • Different kinds of satellites use different
    frequency bands.
  • LBand 1 to 2 GHz,
  • S-Band 2 to 4 GHz
  • C-Band 4 to 8 GHz
  • X-Band 8 to 13 GHz
  • Ku-Band 13 to 18 GHz
  • K-Band 18 to 28 GHz
  • Ka-Band 28 to 40 GHz
  • There is a inverse relationship between
    frequency and wavelength.
  • As wavelength increases (and frequency
    decreases), larger antennas (satellite dishes)
    are necessary to gather the signal.

13
C-band

  • C-band is the most common frequency spectrums
    used by todays satellite.
  • C-band satellite transmissions occupy the 4 to 8
    GHz frequency range.
  • C-band antenna is approximately 2-3 meters in
    diameter

14
Ku-band

  • Ku-band satellite transmissions occupy the 13 to
    18 GHz frequency range.
  • Ku-band antennas can be as small as 18 inches in
    diameter
  •  These very high frequency transmissions mean
    very small wavelengths and very small diameter
    receiving antennas.

15
TYPES OF ORBITS

  • Low-Earth-Orbit (LEOs)
  • Medium-Earth-Orbit (MEOs)
  • Geostationary (GEOs)

16
Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO)

  • Altitude (600-1000 KM)
  • satellite gives it a better signal strength
  • Advantages
  • Reduces transmission delay
  • Disadvantages
  • Smaller coverage area.
  • Shorter life span (5-8 yrs.)

17
Little LEOs Applications

  • 0.8 GHz range
  • Small, low-cost
  • Used for short communications.

18
Middle-Earth-Orbiting (MEO)

  • MEOs orbits between the altitudes of 8,000 –
    20,000 km above the earth.
  • MEO satellites have a larger coverage.
  • These orbits are primarily reserved for
    communications satellites that cover the North
    and South Pole.
  • MEOs are placed in an elliptical (oval-shaped)
    orbit.

19
Geosynchronous-Earth-Orbit (GEO)

  • From the ground level the satellite appears
    fixed.
  • GEO satellites have a 24 hour view of a
    particular area.
  • Coverage to 40 of area Of planet by this
    satellite

20
The Global Positioning System

  • EQUATORIAL ORBIT
  • POLAR CIRCULAR ORBIT
  • INCLINED ORBIT
  • EACH SATELLITE COVER 40 AREA
  • SATELLITE MAKES AN ANGLE OF 120 WITH EACH OTHER.

21
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF SATELLITE

  • DISADVANTAGES
  • ADVANTAGES
  • Make repeated observations over a given area .
  • At a time satellites observe a larger coverage
  • Minimum Satellite lifetime is about 10-15
    years.  
  • Poor spatial resolution in the polar regions.
  • Launching satellites into orbit is costly.

22
Uses of satellite

  • IT IS USED FOR LONG DISTANCE COMMUNICATION.
  • IT IS SPEEDY AND RELIABLE.
  • IT IS USED FOR WEATHER FORECASTING.
  • (study of atmosphere ,rain ,sunshine at any place
    at perticular time)
  • IT IS USED FOR TRANSMIT T.V. SIGNAL OVER LARGE
    DISTANCE COMMUNICATION.
  • POLAR SATELLITE IS USED FOR REMOTE SENSING.
