INTRODUCTION
In general terms, a satellite is a smaller object that revolves around a
larger object in space. For example, moon is a natural satellite of earth.
We know that Communication refers to the exchange (sharing) of
information between two or more entities, through any medium or
channel. In other words, it is nothing but sending, receiving and
processing of information.
Soviet Union had launched the world's first artificial satellite named,
Sputnik 1 in 1957. Nearly after 18 years, India also launched the artificial
satellite named, Aryabhata in 1975.
The following two kinds of propagation are used earlier for
communication up to some distance.
Ground wave propagation − Ground wave propagation is
suitable for frequencies up to 30MHz. This method of
communication makes use of the troposphere conditions of
the earth.
Sky wave propagation − The suitable bandwidth for this type
of communication is broadly between 30–40 MHz and it
makes use of the ionosphere properties of the earth.
Since the satellites locate at certain height above earth, the
communication takes place between any two earth stations
easily via satellite. So, it overcomes the limitation of
communication between two earth stations due to earth’s
curvature.

The frequency with which, the signal is sent into the space is called
as Uplink frequency. Similarly, the frequency with which, the signal
is sent by the transponder is called as Downlink frequency. The
following figure illustrates this concept clearly.
The transmission of signal from first earth station to satellite through a
channel is called as uplink. Similarly, the transmission of signal from
satellite to second earth station through a channel is called as downlink.
The satellites receive and retransmit the signals back to earth where they
are received by other earth stations in the coverage area of the satellite.
Satellite's footprint is the area which receives a signal of useful strength
from the satellite
ADVANTAGES
Area of coverage is more than that
of terrestrial systems
Each and every corner of the earth
can be covered
Transmission cost is independent of
coverage area
More bandwidth and broadcasting
possibilities
DISADVANTAGES
Launching of satellites into orbits is a costly
process.
Propagation delay of satellite systems is
more than that of conventional terrestrial
systems.
Difficult to provide repairing activities if any
problem occurs in a satellite system.
Free space loss is more
There can be congestion of frequencies.
APPLICATIONS
Radio broadcasting and voice
communications
TV broadcasting such as Direct To Home
(DTH)
Internet applications such as providing
Internet connection for data transfer, GPS
applications, Internet surfing, etc.
Military applications and navigations
Remote sensing applications
Weather condition monitoring &
Forecasting
CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION
communication takes place between any
two earth stations through a satellite, then
it is called as satellite communication.
In this communication, electromagnetic
waves are used as carrier signals. These
signals carry the information such as voice,
audio, video or any other data between
ground and space and vice-versa.
