- Communications_satellite abstract "A communications satellite is an artificial satellite that relays and amplifies through the use of a transponder, radio telecommunications signals, between a source and a receiver. Communications satellites are used for television, telephone, radio, internet, and military applications. There are over 2,000 communications satellites in Earth’s orbit, used by both private and government organizations.Wireless communication uses electromagnetic waves to carry signals. These waves require line-of-sight, and are thus obstructed by the curvature of the Earth. In order to communicate over great distances, satellites are used to redirect the signal.There are two major classes of communications satellites, Passive and Active. Passive satellites only redirect (usually via reflection) the signal coming from the source, toward the direction of the receiver. With passive satellites, the reflected signal is not amplified before it returns to Earth, so it has the tendency to be very weak. This is because, as the electromagnetic wave moves through the atmosphere, particles within the atmosphere, air, water droplets and dust tend to attenuate the signal, thereby reducing its received level. This is known as Free-space path loss. Active satellites, on the other hand, amplify the received signal before re-transmitting it to the receiver on the groundCommunications satellites orbit the Earth in one of three major ways. One of these orbits is called [geosynchronous orbit] (GEO), which is 19,300 nautical miles from Earth’s surface. This orbit has the special characteristic in which satellites placed in this orbit can “stand still” with respect to a certain location on earth. That is, if a viewer on Earth were to look up into the sky and spot a satellite in GEO, it would seem as if it isn’t moving. Closer to the Earth is the medium Earth orbit (MEO). It ranges from 500-1200 nautical miles above Earth. Below MEO is low Earth orbit (LEO) and is about 200 nautical miles above Earth.As MEO and LEO are not able to keep satellites “stationary” like GEO, more satellites would be needed to obtain complete coverage over a certain area. However, due to their relatively small distance to the earth their signals are stronger.The electromagnetic signals that communication satellites work with, have a large spectrum of wavelengths and frequencies. To keep these waves from interfering with one another, international organizations have certain rules and regulations describing which wavelength a certain company or group can use. By separating out wavelengths, communication satellites will have minimal interference and be able to communicate effectively.".
