VSAT
Very Small Aperture Terminal
The first earth station antennas used incommercial satellite communications
systems were very large and expensive
with typical aperture diameters of 30 m.
These large antennas operated in C band
(6/4GHz).

Most VSAT systems operate in Ku band with
earth station antenna diameters of 1 to 2 m and
transmitter powers of 1 or 2 W.
The earth stations are usually organized in a
STAR network, in which the earth stations
connect to a central hub station via a GEO
satellite.
Data rates on the links are from a few thousandbits per second up to 256 kbps,depending on
the traffic requirements.

VSAT systems are used to link businesses and stores to a
central computer system so that sales transactions can be
completed more rapidly than by using a telephone line and
modem , and so that a central office can rapidly distributeand collect information from a large no. of locations in a
region or country.
VSAT systems are used for Voice Traffic, although thedata rates are well matched to digital voice bit rates.
For this reason , voice over IP (VOIP) has become a
growth segment in VSAT operations.

The feed for the antenna can be
Cassegrain or Gregorian Designs.
These antennas require a sub reflector with
a minimum diameter of ~10 wavelengths.
Earth stations with antenna aperture
diameter less than 100 wavelength were
called Small Aperture Terminalsand as thesize reduced the term VSAT was coined
and then USAT (Ultra satellite aperture
terminal).
7/27/2019 Unit 6 Non Geostaitonary Orbit Satellite System

These are typical sizes of VSAT antennas used in
International and domestic services.

The standard VSAT antennas are not as small as the Ku-
band direct to home (DTH) antennas used for direct
broadcast satellite TV reception, which are typically
0.5 to 0.8 m in diameter.
DBSTV satellites use very powerful transponders,typically 160-240 W compared to 20 to 50 W of Ku- band
satellites used for VSAT service.
VSAT antennas are also much larger than USATahandheld satellite telephone as used in Iridium, Global
Star, New ICO, and other mobile satellite service (MSS)systems, which have an Omni-directional antenna.

Geostationary satellites allied to
microwave cellular technologies have
been used to bypass completely thetraditional expansion of analog
telephony.
One such solution is wireless local loop
(WLL) coupled with VSAT distribution
architectures. The VSAT/WLL concept usually has an
optimum range of user densities where the
economics are most favorable.

The geo stationary satellite is used to link
a large no. of VSATs with the main
switching center in a large city.
Each VSAT acts as the link to the local
switching center in the village or ruralcommunity with the final mile of the
telephony link being carried over a
wireless local loop(WLL).

VSAT networks allow multimedia traffic to be brought
directly to the end user, but generally handle only
small traffic streams.
The traffic stream is also usually intermittent in nature; the
user accesses the satellite in a demand assigned
multiple access (DAMA) mode whenever a message is to
be sent and receives a short reply in due course.
This is typical in a point of sale (POS) VSAT system that
is used to transmit credit card information at a gas pump or
a store register.
Information about the sale and the customers credit is sent
to a central computer facility and an authorization or denial
is received in response.
7/27/2019 Unit 6 Non Geostaitonary Orbit Satellite System
15/49
The interaction between the VSAT and the
main hub earth station in the POS (point of
Sale) transaction is completely automaticand transparent to the user, the customer in
this case.
Most VSAT networks do not generate
enough traffic to justify a dedicated satellite.

NETWORK ARCHITECTURES There are three basic implementations of
any telecommunications service;
One way
Two way
And split two way(SplitIP, whenreferring to Internet Traffic, since the
outbound and inbound channels arerouted over different systems)
7/27/2019 Unit 6 Non Geostaitonary Orbit Satellite System
17/49
Two way Implementation Classified into two basic network
architectures :
Star
Mesh
7/27/2019 Unit 6 Non Geostaitonary Orbit Satellite System
18/49
One Way Implementation This is the mode of a satellite used in the
broadcast satellite service (BSS).
The introduction of digital technologyallows the
provider and user much greater flexibility in the
operation of a broadcast network.
By means of proprietary software in the user
terminals, different parts of the downlink can beaccessed by different subscribers according to the
programs ordered from the supplier.
7/27/2019 Unit 6 Non Geostaitonary Orbit Satellite System
19/49
One Way (broadcast)
Implementation This form of channel selection is called
Narrowcasting.
There can be many narrowcasting groups
within a larger broadcasting area.

21/49
Split two way (Split IP) Implementation This implementation is used when there is no normal
return channel for eg. With Ku- Band broadcast satellite
service (BSS) systems that carryInternet Traffic.
The relatively high capacity downlink stream is not
complemented by an uplink capability from the user
terminal.
If the BSS downlink is used as the download channel from
an Internet service provider, the only option the user has
for a return link is via another telecommunications channel,such as a Standard telephone line.
7/27/2019 Unit 6 Non Geostaitonary Orbit Satellite System
22/49
Split two way (Split IP) Implementation
TheInternet Protocol (IP) is therefore splitbetween a satellite downlink (outbound)
channel and a terrestrial telephone (inbound
or return) channel; hence the term Split IP
for this implementation.

Advantages VSAT terminal does not require a transmit
capability, which significantly reduces itscost and complexity.
Disadvantage Telephone line connection must usually be
through a modem, with a bit rate generally
restricted to 56 kbps or less.
7/27/2019 Unit 6 Non Geostaitonary Orbit Satellite System
24/49
TwoWay Implementation A return linkis designed into the service so that two-way
communications can be set up over the same satellite,
from the hub to the user and from the user back to thehub.
The VSAT/WLL implementation in fig. 9.2 is a two way
service between the hub in this case the satellite gatewayand any VSAT terminal.
The architecture selectedis the key to the economics of
twoway connections; it can be eitherMesh or Star.
These two architectures are illustrated in fig. 9.5a,b with the
topology as viewed by the satellite shown in fig. 9.6 a,b.

Initially VSAT architectures were STAR networkssince the
very low receive G/T (gain to noise temperature ratio) of
the VSATs coupled with their limited transmit
EIRP(Effective Isotropic Radiated Power), wascompensated for by using a large hub with high G/T and
EIRP.
The cost of the hub was therefore quite high and at leastfor the smaller VSAT networks, somewhat prohibitive.
This led to the concept of a shared hub, where several
networks operate through one main hub.
A high speed terrestrial data link is required between the
host computers of the networks and the hub, which
increases the cost of the network.
7/27/2019 Unit 6 Non Geostaitonary Orbit Satellite System
26/49
Rather than have one large hub for all of the
VSAT networks sharing the same satellite, the
over all network evolved to allow each sub networkto have its own hub as soon as the economics
made it attractive.
In this way, the host computer of each VSATnetwork can be co-located with its own hub,
thus eliminating the cost of the interconnection
between the hub earth station and the
computer controlling the service offered
through the VSAT network.
7/27/2019 Unit 6 Non Geostaitonary Orbit Satellite System
27/49
Whether the hub is shared or dedicated on
the one hand or the VSAT is connected to a
single user or a local area network (LAN)with multiple users sharing access through
an Ethernet connection on the other, in
every case there will need to be an accesscontrol protocol.

DTH Satellite Television The Direct to home Satellite Broadcast system (DBS/DTH)
enables viewers to receive many channels of high
quality TV programmes via high powered KU-BANDsatellites.
There are no distribution cables but the receiver
connects through MODEM to the customers telephoneline for communication with the subscription service
computer for billing purposes.
Thus the DTH system does not need a cable networkthat at present distributes TV signals to customers.
The data is compressed till significant digital artifacts
appear.
7/27/2019 Unit 6 Non Geostaitonary Orbit Satellite System
31/49
Programmes containing frames with many fast moving
objects, like a game of basket ball , can be
compressed 3 or 4 to a transponder of 36 MHz channel
width.
Programmes containing mostly large still images can
be accommodated to about 5 to 6 to a transponder.
Movies can be compressed perhaps up to 7 or 8 to one
transponder by reducing frame rate and in some cases
even by not including interlacing lines which
otherwise is a standard practice to reduce flicker andimprove resolution.
7/27/2019 Unit 6 Non Geostaitonary Orbit Satellite System
32/49
For DTH service, Ku-band frequencies are preferred
because these are not prone to interference from
ground point to point communicationand also need
much smaller diameter dish antenna.
Low powered Ku- band satellite transmit in the 11.7 to 12.5
GHz range while the new high powered versions are
assigned 12.2 to 12.7 GHz band for efficient operation ofDTH transmissions.
Such satellites need receiving dish antennas of diameter
between 50 to 90 cm depending on the location ofreceiving site in the satellites foot print, area.

The 12.2 to 12.7 GHz bandwas set aside for exclusive
use byDBS-TV satellites in geostationary orbit so that
high power transponders could be used on specially
designed DBSTV satellites.
Typical transponder output levels are 100 to 240 Wwith
flux density at the earths surface up to-105 dB/W/m2.
The satellites can carry up to 32 transponders, giving a
total transmitted RF power up to 3.2 kW, higher than for
any other commercial.
DBS satellites are typically large and heavy, generally use
a three axis stabilizeddesign, and have large solar sails
to generate the DC power required by the transponders.
7/27/2019 Unit 6 Non Geostaitonary Orbit Satellite System
38/49
The flux density at the earth surface produced by
medium and high power transponder used on DBS
satellites is in the range-105 to -115 dB W/m2,which
allows small receiving antennas dishes to be used for DBSTV reception, withdiameters in the range 0.450.9 m.
The small receiving antenna has a wide beam, typically4
to a 0.45m dish,which forces wide spacing of DBSTVsatellites to avoid interference at the receiving antenna by
the signals from adjacent DBS-TV satellites.
Each DBS TV satellites carries up to32 high powertransponders covering part of the 12.2 to 12.7 GHz
broadcast satellite band (BSS)and the satellites at each
orbit location transmit in opposite hands of circular
polarization (CP).
7/27/2019 Unit 6 Non Geostaitonary Orbit Satellite System
39/49
Signals with opposite hands of circular polarization are orthogonal, and a
suitably designed earth station antenna can separate two signals with opposite
hands of circular polarization.
In simplest DBS TV terminal ,an electronically controlled polarizer is usedimmediately behind the antenna feed.
The polarizer can be set to receive LHCP (left hand circular polarization)
or RHCP( right hand circular polarization) by changing the voltage
supplied to the low noise block converter (LNB) unit at the antenna.
Typically,a supply voltage of 7 V will cause the antenna to receive one
polarization and reject the other. Increasing the voltage above 14 V
causes the antenna to switch polarizations.
The polarizer converts the circularly received polarization signal to a
linearly polarized signal in a section of waveguide, and a linear probe in
the waveguide converts the signals to currents that drive the LNA input.
7/27/2019 Unit 6 Non Geostaitonary Orbit Satellite System
40/49
More complex receivers use an orthogonal mode
transducer(OMT) with two LNBs so that both hands of
circular polarization can be received at the same time by
using two LNBs and two receivers.
A dual channel DBSTV receiver with a dual- polarizedantenna allows two TV channels to be viewed by
different people in the same household at the same time.
Reception from two satellites spaced 9 apart in GEOcan be achieved with a larger antenna, 0.45 X 0.6 m
that produces two beams separated by the appropriateangle.

DBS TV i
7/27/2019 Unit 6 Non Geostaitonary Orbit Satellite System
42/49
DBS- TV receiver The entire front end of the receiver is located at the
antenna feed in the form of an LNB :
to minimize loss of signal and
hence to maintain the lowest possible system noise
temperature.
the electronic polarizer is switched by changing the
voltage supplied to the LNB via the cable that
interconnects the antenna and set-top receiver.
The entire 12.212.7 GHz band is down converted bythe LNB to the 900-1400 MHz,where cable losses are
much lower than at Ku band.
7/27/2019 Unit 6 Non Geostaitonary Orbit Satellite System
43/49
The down converter consists of a dielectric resonator
local oscillator and mixer, followed by an IF amplifier
and band pass filter.
The high gain LNB can drive 100m of coaxial cable
without any reduction in signal quality.
Where longer cable runs are needed, amplifiers for the900-1400 MHz band can be used to boost the signal
strength.
The set top box accepts the entire 500-MHz band andseparates out the individual transponder frequencies.
Any one of these frequencies can be selected on demand
by the user.
7/27/2019 Unit 6 Non Geostaitonary Orbit Satellite System
44/49
The user enters the desired channel no. into the set top
box using as IR remote control, for eg. 363, which is
converted via a stored look up table in the receiver to
an RF channel frequency and polarization.
The signal from the required transponder is then
selected by the receiver by setting the correct
polarization at the antenna and tuning the set top localoscillator to the appropriate IF channel frequency.
The QPSK signal is then demodulated. The result is a
multiplexed bit stream, typically at a bit rate up 40Mbps, which contains the bits for channel 363 and
several other video signals.
7/27/2019 Unit 6 Non Geostaitonary Orbit Satellite System
45/49
The bit stream is encrypted and contains error
control coding bits and data bits. The bit
stream is processed to correct and detect
errors, deinterleaved , and decrypted.
A digital de-multiplexer then extracts the bits
for the wanted channel, 362 in this eg, sendsthem to a MPEG 2 decoder, and finally
generates analog video and audio signals with
D/A converters to drive the TV set.
7/27/2019 Unit 6 Non Geostaitonary Orbit Satellite System
46/49
The look up table in the receiver that relates channel numbers to
frequencies, polarizations, and instructions for the TDM de-
multiplexer is downloaded from the satellite on a regular
schedule.
This allows the service provider to change the transponder which
carries a particular signal, and to alter the mix of signals on a
given transponder as required, without the customer being aware
of the changes.
The satellite is used to address individual receivers and to load
another look up table that specifies which channels the user is
authorized to receive.
If the user fails to pay his or her bills to the service provider, the
receiver will eventually be instructed to show only a message that
it has been disconnected for failure to make timely payment for
the service.
7/27/2019 Unit 6 Non Geostaitonary Orbit Satellite System
47/49
This process involves a smart card, which identifies each
receiving system and enables decryption of the satellite signals.
The high level of protection applied to the DBS-TV signals isintended to prevent unauthorized reception by users who have
not paid monthly fees.
Hackers have reportedly broken the encryption system of Direct
TV from time to time by reprogramming smart cards, but DirectTV retaliated in early 2001, disabling the pirated cards and
shutting down nonpaying viewers.
Pay per view channels are handles differently from broadcast
channels. A customer wishing to buy a movie or a sporting eventselects the desired channel and authorizes the system to make a
charge.
7/27/2019 Unit 6 Non Geostaitonary Orbit Satellite System
48/49
The Direct TV receive terminals have no uplink capability, and
must therefore use terrestrial telephone circuits to send charging
information to the central office of the TV service provider.
The cost of the pay per view event is then added to the customersmonthly bill. This requires a connection between the DBS-TV
receiver and the PSTN at the customers premises.
The receiver dials a toll free no. , and down loads a record of thecharges for that customer, and any other information that the
receiver is programmed to deliver to the service provider.
Such information might include the pattern of channels that the
customer selects and watches , which is valuable data foradvertisers.
Using the satellite to convey instructions to the receivers brings
some notable advantages to the DBS-TV customer.
7/27/2019 Unit 6 Non Geostaitonary Orbit Satellite System
49/49
A customer who wishes to change the
level of service he or she receives need
make only a single phone call to obtain aservice upgrade.
The customer owns the DBS-TVreceiving equipment and is responsible
for its maintenance, so there are no
service calls by satellite TV providers.
