AY15025 Ground Station System Architecture 3.0 3
Description This course introduces the structure and key components of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite ground station systems. Students will learn the fundamental roles and functions of these systems in satellite communication, gaining insights into various types such as maritime, GEO/LEO, and fixed/mobile ground stations. The course examines their application scenarios and technical requirements, and explores antenna subsystems, including their types and performance. It also covers the Local Operations Center (LOC), highlighting centralized control and system management. Additionally, data interface networks are discussed, with emphasis on transmission methods, protocols, and security. Supporting systems like power and control mechanisms are introduced. Practical case studies help students understand and analyze ground station architectures.
