Satellite Communications



Satellite ,is in effect,a microwave relay station.It is used to link two or more ground–base microwave transmitter/receiver,known as earth stations
Some satellites are natural, like the Moon, which is the natural satellite of the earth. Other satellites are made by scientists and technologists to go around the earth and do certain jobs

A communications satellite (sometimes abbreviated to comsat) is an artificial satellite stationed in space for the purposes of telecommunications. Modern communications satellites use a variety of orbits including geostationary orbits, Molniya orbits, other elliptical orbits and low (polar and non-polar) Earth orbits.
For fixed (point-to-point) services, communications satellites provide a microwave radio relay technology complementary to that of submarine communication cables. They are also used for mobile applications such as communications to ships, vehicles, planes and hand-held terminals, and for TV and radio broadcasting, for which application of other technologies, such as cable, is impractical or impossible.
