Satellite Systems Engineering in an Ipv6 Environment (Electronic book text)

A practical guide to satellite transmission engineering, this book has three distinguishing features. It focuses more on practical results and less on the actual derivation of the mathematical equations, highlights the use of satellite transmission in an ipv6 environment, and applies the theory to sensor networks, IPTV distribution, and DVB-H-based delivery of TV signals to phones. Topics include electromagnetic propagation, modulation and multiplexing techniques, link budget analysis, IPv6 and TCP/IPv6 issues, and very small aperture terminals systems. This book concludes with coverage of applications such as sensor networks, IP multicast, IPTV, and DVB-H.
