Earth Station and Terminal Design (Course Overview)

This intensive three-day course is intended for satellite communications engineers, earth station design professionals, and operations and maintenance managers and technical staff.

The course provides a proven approach to the design of modern earth stations, from the system level down to the critical elements that determine the performance and reliability of the facility. We address the essential technical properties in the baseband and RF, and delve deeply into the block diagram, budgets and specification of specifications of earth stations, hubs, and VSATS.

Also addressed are practical approaches for the procurement and implementation of the facility, as well as proper practices for O&M and testing throughout the useful life. The overall methodology assures that the earth station meets its requirements in a cost effective and manageable manner.
