Course Overview
This five-day course (incorporating our Satellite Communications—Overview and Satellite Communications—Intermediate short courses as the first three days) provides participants with a detailed understanding of, and practice in, the issues associated with the design and provision of modern satellite communications systems.
Familiarity with communications fundamentals is assumed as background knowledge for the course. Attendance at our Basic Communications Principles course is recommended for those who want to gain an understanding of the underlying communications principles before attending this course. Some basic mathematics and calculator skills are also required.
Attendees receive a comprehensive set of notes and a copy of the book Principles of Satellite Communications, Ryan, M., Argos Press, Canberra, 2004.
