Satellites are an essential part of the telecommunication system worldwide today. They can carry a large amount of data. satellite communication is a special use of microwave transmission systems. A Satellite is placed above the earth where its orbital speed exactly matches the Earth's rotation speed. Hence it always stays over the same point with respect to the Earth. In satellite communication, the earth station consists of a satellite dish that functions as an antenna and communication equipment to transmit and receive data from satellite overhead.
Advantages of Satellite Transmission
The area coverage through satellite transmission is quite large.
This is particularly useful for sparsely populated areas.
Disadvantages of Satellite Transmission
- Placing the satellite into its Orbit involves a very high cost.
- Transmission is affected by weather conditions like rain, thunderstorm, etc.
