Discover the invisible backbone of global connectivity! This deep dive explores satellite microwave systems—the technology enabling worldwide communication, GPS, weather forecasting, and more.

📡 Key Topics Covered:
✅ Satellite Communication Basics
How ground stations transmit signals to satellites
Uplink vs. downlink frequency bands (C-band, Ku-band, Ka-band)
Why satellites outperform terrestrial microwave for long-distance communication

✅ Satellite Types by Orbit
LEO (Low Earth Orbit): 500–1,200 km (Starlink, Earth observation)
MEO (Medium Earth Orbit): 8,000–20,000 km (GPS, Galileo)
GEO (Geostationary Orbit): 35,786 km (TV broadcasting, weather satellites)
HEO (Highly Elliptical Orbit): Polar coverage (Molniya orbits)

✅ Real-World Applications
Emergency communication in remote areas
Military and defense systems
Global internet access (e.g., Starlink)
Climate monitoring and disaster prediction

⚙️ Technical Insights:
Latency differences (LEO: 20–40ms vs. GEO: 500ms+)
Frequency reuse and spectrum efficiency
VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) technology
