Outstanding Intro to Satellites
16 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
An excellent introduction to satellite communications. I use this book constantly to provide non-engineers and engineers alike with simple answers to common questions. I hand this book out to new employees as well as customers so that we can speak a common language.
In addition, with the authors permission I used this as the textbook to teach students a Vo-Technical high school.
I highly recommend this book. SAW

Satellite Technology: An Introduction
27 May 2003
Format:Paperback
A useful text for those who need to know more about the user technology (ground) in sat-comms. It's a little dated and with a decidedly USA-centric bias but its relatively small size and friendly style more than compensate.
It's not really of use to those who need to know about the satellites themselves, much of what is said can be found in far more detail although in decidedly more expensive texts.
Its real plus is that you can learn an awful lot if you read the whole thing and you can do that in a weekend. You can't say that about Messrs Marel et al!
Satellite Technology: A great Introduction!!
27 July 2005
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed this book, despite it's small size. Although somewhat outdated, I would say that 90% of the information provided was very helpful, and explains satellite technology in layman's terms, and has good graphics to assist in the explanations. Highly recommended for those just starting out in satcom.
