Aims
Despite the recent IT sector crisis, satellite communication systems are playing and will continue playing a key role in modern society. In the commercial sector Satellite telecom networks show a consolidated position for television broadcasting and rapidly acquiring a growing role for mobile digital radio provisioning, High-Definition Television and Internet access to fill the “digital divide” gap. The provision of these new services to prosumer and consumer type of customers is calling for the development of new techniques and technologies which are currently supported by the ESA R&D programs. Further challenges are related to provision of a highly reconfigurable satellite-baseband broadband network infrastructure for emergency operations and homeland security support integrated to satellite-based Earth observation and navigation networks.
This series of lectures aims to equip interested graduate students with the necessary background on emerging trends of satellite telecom technologies. Latest developments in the field of satellite telecom, R&D trends, emerging techniques and design paradigms in the field of fixed and mobile communications will be illustrated.
Syllabus
- R&D perspectives for Satellite Telecom Networks
- The DVB-S2 new standard for digital broadcasting, interactive and professional applications
- Adaptive Coding and Modulation impact on the satellite system design
- Hybrid Mobile Multimedia Digital Broadcasting System and related technical challenges
