As you know, satellite communication antennas are provided to access the two way radio

communication. In fact, it is commonly noticed in the radios, especially in the vehicles such
as cars and vans. Only few are aware of the fact that these radios will work with the
frequency range measured in kilohertz and megahertz. No matter what type of radio you are
having, it of course requires satellite communication antennas. Hence, it requires a driver for
installing it.

It is a well known fact that the radio signals will be around the earth. Hence, it requires some
kind of attraction source. This is where the importance of antennas is realized. In fact, your
radio vehicle will work only if it is well equipped with an antenna. Since many think that, it
may be quite difficult to access antennas many think that the antennas are exactly tuned to
match the specific frequencies; they are not looking forward to make the most of benefits.
Well, all that you have to do to make an antenna work properly is just place it at the right
place, where it is noticed to be nearly 100% in phase with respect to time. There are quite a
few places, which will be good for placing the satellite communication antennas. The best as
well as easiest way to position your antenna is just fixing them up on the dash. The reason is
that since the space signal is said to be bouncing outside the car, it will not be appropriate to
place your antennas inside the car. However, you cannot expect an antenna placed on the roof
to work 100% at all times, as some signals could also bounce back. On the other hand, if you
are in a situation wherein you think that placing the antenna inside your car and home is the
only good thing, then make sure that you are employing some radio signal reflectors. Only by
doing this, you will be able to enjoy great clarity. The reason is that these reflectors will
reflect the maximum signals towards your antennas and thereby, upholding the quality of two
way radio communication. Placing the antennas inside the reception areas is also a good
option.

No matter, what is the frequency range that the communication network provider provides, if
your radio communication equipments are well equipped with an antenna, then frequency
range is one of those things, which you must be least bothered about. In order to make your
antennas work a little better, just make sure that you have a magnet on one end of your radio
antenna. In addition, adding sheet metal will also be a good option as well. In fact, the sheet
metal is advised as it could help you in achieving the extension of the antenna. The reception
power of the satellite communication antennas are boosted up as the antennas also use
antenna currents. Overall, placing the antennas in a right position is all that you have to do for
good performance.

A satellite is an object which has been placed into orbit by human endeavor. Such objects are
sometimes called artificial satellites to distinguish them from natural satellites such as the Moon.
Antennas are another part of satellite communication subsystem. In fact the antennas on board the
satellite serve as an interface between the Earth stations on the ground and various satellite sub-
systems during operations. Antennas receive the uplink signal and transmit to downlink signals. In
addition they provide single link for the satellite telemetry, command and ranging systems which in
conjunction with attitude control subsystem provides beacon tracking signals for precise pointing of
the antenna towards the Earth coverage areas. The design of satellite antenna is conditioned by
the required coverage. It should be remembered that antennas are the one of the key elements in
a satellite communication system since their gain values directly determine the amount of received
power.

Some Basic things

Bandwidth, Beamwidth, and Polarization
Bandwidth, beamwidth,and polarization are three important terms dealing.
respectively with the operating frequency range, the degree of concentration or the radiation
pattern, and the space orientation of the radiated waves.
Bandwidth

The term bandwidth refers to the range of frequencies the antenna will reflect effectively;

i.e., the antenna will perform satisfactorily throughout is size of frequencies. When the antenna

power drops to ½(3 dB), the upper and lower extremities of these frequencies have been

reached and the antenna no longer perform satisfactorily.

Antennas In Satellite Communication

Antennas that operate over a wide frequency range and still maintain satisfactory performance

must have compensating circuits switched into the system to maintain impedance matching, thus

ensuring no deterioration of the transmitted signals.

Beamwidth

Thebeamwidth of an antenna is described as the angles created by comparing the half-

power points (3 dB) on the main radiation lobe to its maximum power point. In an example, the

beam angle is 300, which is the sum of the two angles created at the points where thefi eld
strength drops to 0. 0’ field strength is measured in u/V/m) of the maximum voltage at the
center of the lobe.(These points are known as the half-power points.)
Polarization
Polarization of an antenna refers to the direction in space of theE field (electric
vector) portion of the electromagnetic wave being radiated by the transmitting system.
Low-frequency antennas are usually vertically polarized because of ground effect (reflected

waves, etc.) and physical Construction methods. High-frequency antennas are generally

horizontally polarized.

A parabolic antenna is a high-gain reflector antenna used for radio, television and data
communications, and also for radiolocation (RADAR), on the UHF and SHF parts of the
electromagnetic spectrum. The relatively short wavelength of electromagnetic (radio) energy at
these frequencies allows reasonably sized reflectors to exhibit the very desirable highly
directional response for both receiving and transmitting.

M.Tech specializations in Electronics and Communication Engineering (E&CE) and their

order of preference

1. Advanced Communication Systems

2. VLSI System Design
3. Signal Processing
4. Electronic Instrumentation

Truly speaking, every specialization have good demand, If you don’t work hard even a
good specialization don’t work for you, whereas with hard work any specialization can
fetch what your are looking for.
