Satellite Communication platform provides an in-depth study of basic Satellite communication system. It consists of Uplink Transmitter, Satellite Link and Downlink Receiver, which can be conveniently placed in the laboratory. The Satellite can be placed at an elevated position if needed. The Satellite Transponder receives signal from Uplink Transmitter and retransmit at different frequencies to a Downlink Receiver. The Uplink and Downlink frequencies are selectable and can have variety of signals such as Video, Audio, Voice, Tone, Data and Telemetry (Temperature and Light intensity). The operating manual illustrates basic theory and glossary of Satellite Communication terms along with Experiments

Features:

• Transmitter with selectable frequency conversion
• Simultaneous communication of three different signals
• Communicate Audio, Video, Digital data, PC data, Tone, Voice, function generator waveforms etc.
• 2414 - 2468MHz PLL microwave operation.

Scope of Learning:

• Transmitting & receiving three separate Signals (Audio, Video, and Tone/ Voice) simultaneously through satellite link and perform Link Fail Operations.
• Transmitting & receiving Function Generator Waveforms through Satellite Link.
• Transmitting and receiving PC data through satellite link.
• Study the delay between Uplink transmitter and Downlink receiver during data transmission.
• Send Tele-command and receive Temperature & intensity of light from satellite.
• Calculate the carrier to noise ratio for a satellite link.
• Calculate signal to noise ratio for a satellite link.
