What are some advantages of SATCOM? - Answer -
-SATCOM provides service over the Polar Regions, the oceans, and the remote regions
of the world.
-SATCOM provides global connectivity to widely dispersed small and mobile forces.
SATCOM extends the network and provides long-haul communications for areas not
served by terrestrial architecture or where line-of-sight equipment may be deficient.
True or False: Signal latency is a minor concern in satellite communications, so
geographic and meteorological factors play an important role in choosing teleports.
-Answer FALSE: Signal latency is a MAJOR concern in satellite communications, so
geographic and meteorological factors play an important role in choosing teleports.
WIN-T Benefits -Answer -On-demand, prepositioned links to DISN services.
- automatic routing and information transfer over the most effective SATCOM network.
,-
WGS enables cross-banding so communications between dissimilar SATCOM systems
and frequency bands can be performed.
DOD Gateways - Solution - Gateways allow tactical terminals access to DISN services
from anywhere in the world .
- DOD gateways are positioned worldwide to supply gateway entry points close to the
war fighter in each theatre.
-DOD gateways provide long-haul network transport and connections from the deployed
tactical network to the strategic infrastructure.
Satellite Footprint - Answer -The area of the earth's surface covered by the satellite
antenna's beam pattern within the field of view of the satellite's transmitters or sensors.
-Satellite transmissions can cover 1/3 of the earth's surface
What are the three types of coverages? - Answer -Earth Coverage
-Area Coverage
-Narrow Coverage
Earth Coverage (EC) - (Answer) Uses an EC horn antenna to cover most of the earth's
surface visible from the satellite, normally equal to the footprint.
Area Coverage (AC) - (Answer) Uses a steerable dish or multi-beam antenna to cover
areas of concentrated users that often deploy small, mobile or transportable earth
, terminals I.e. ships, aircraft, and ground tactical terminals.
Narrow Coverage (NC) - Answer Uses spot beam antenna to cover a confined coverage
area containing small earth terminals or small areas generating large volumes of
military communications traffic.
Satellite Communications - Answer -Satellite transmissions can cover 1/3 of the earth's
surface
-Each satellite is equipped with multiple "transponders" consisting of a transceiver and
an antenna tuned to a specific portion of the assigned spectrum
-The incoming signal is amplified and then rebroadcast on a different frequency
-One channel dedicated to transmitting and one channel for receiving
Different Types of Satellites - Answer -Communications Satellite
