EDITORIAL INFORMATION

The book is organized into 11 chapters that discuss the history, requirements, systems engineering, hardware design, and operations and maintenance of earth stations and user terminals. Our approach is to provide a thorough understanding of the technology and implementation issues for the ground segment, rather than delving into copious detail on each segment. The handbook was designed for working satellite communications engineers and telecommunications specialists who need to consider how to design, implement, and manage the ground segment.
