Abstract
In this paper we will discuss a bit about satellite telecommunications. A brief introduction and history of satellite telecommunications will be presented. Then a discussion of certain prevalent satellite orbit types will be given, because this is relevant to understanding how certain satellite applications are employed. Various areas of ongoing research in the field of satellite telecommunications, to include bandwidth allocation, satellite constellation design for remote parts of the world, and power generation, among others will be discussed.
Highlights
It goes without saying that satellites have broad and far reaching applications in many areas
Yung-Wey and Tat-Chee remind us satellites have mainly been used in the past for TV and telephone transmissions, “ in recent years, the satellite’s role in telecommunication has expanded to provide backbone links to geographically dispersed Local Area Networks (LANs) and Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs)” [1]
There are many areas, as will be presented, where improvements can be made in satellite telecommunications, and improvements to any of these areas will result in advancements in the field
Summary
It goes without saying that satellites have broad and far reaching applications in many areas. The remainder of this paper will be organized as follows: Section 2 will give a brief discussion of the history of satellites and their applications so more insight into what is happening can be gained and what the future holds. The last section will present a conclusion and summary Through this layout, the need for more research in the area of satellite telecommunications will become clear. There are many areas, as will be presented, where improvements can be made in satellite telecommunications, and improvements to any of these areas will result in advancements in the field These advancements will be manifested in the way of reduced operating and construction costs as well as improved speed and throughput
