Abstract :
A panoramic view on the study and design of digital satellite communication links is the focus of this paper. Starting from the characterization of satellite propagation channel in different application environments (from broadcast to fixed terminals, to broadband mobile satellite access), we address physical layer aspects related to satellite communications in the attempt of providing the reader with an overview of the new trends and open issues in this field.
