Chapter 5: Satellite Systems
• support mobile communications
• global coverage without wiring costs for base stations
• implementation of varying population densities

Basics
Satellites in circular orbits
attractive force Fg = m g (R/r)²
centrifugal force Fc = m v²/r
m: mass of the satellite
R: radius of the earth (R = 6370 km)
r: distance to the center of the earth
g: acceleration of gravity (g = 9.81 m/s²)
v: satellite speed
Stable orbit
Fg = Fc
r = g R²/v²mgR²/r² = mv²/r

Elevation
Elevation:
angle e between center of satellite beam
and surface
eminimal elevation:
elevation needed at least
to communicate with the satellite
LOS (Line of Sight) to the satellite
necessary for connections.

Four different types of satellite orbits:
GEO: geostationary orbit,
ca. 36000 km above earth surface
LEO (Low Earth Orbit):
ca. 500 - 1500 km
MEO (Medium Earth Orbit) or
ICO (Intermediate Circular Orbit):
ca. 6000 - 20000 km
HEO (Highly Elliptical Orbit) elliptical orbits

Some satellites have
special antennas to
create smaller cells
using spot beams
(e.g. 163 spot beams
per Satellite in then
ICO-system)
