  VSAT & Satellite Communications Tutorials & Further Education

Main Tutorial Index

VSAT stands for Very Small Aperture Terminal which is basically a small satellite antenna (less than or equal to 4.5m diameter) as opposed to a large antenna. The word terminal refers to the fact that the antenna is attached to a system that can transmit and receive through the antenna to and from a satellite. The following tutorials will help you understand and guide you through the basics of satellite communications and the related areas up to a working level of knowledge suitable for attending further courses or education.

The courses have been designed to be worked through in order but also to be taken ad hoc if you just need some quick information. Each course has a link to the next so that you can work through without having to keep going back to the index.

 SUPPORTED PARTNERS & CHARITIES
ISR is the lynchpin of modern warfare and the methodology by which it is collected, analysed and disseminated continues to develop as forces encounter new and familiar challenges across air, land and sea in the 21st century. Both the cyber and space domains have seen and continue to see an incremental increase in offensive and defensive activity over recent years and, in these two domains, ISR finds itself yet more relevant. SMi are pleased to announce the 2nd instalment of MilSatCom Asia taking place on the 9th and 10th May 2012 in Singapore. With satellite communications increasing in the region this event will allow fantastic networking opportunities with senior SATCOM professionals from across the region and internationally. The reliance on satellite communication is increasing in Asia, and this event will attract senior SATCOM professionals from across the Asia-Pacific region to one place. Following in the footsteps of our flagship event and Europe’s largest military satellite conference and exhibition, Global MilSatCom. MilSatCom Asia will be a highly regarded niche conference to the Asia-Pacific region. Don't miss the opportunity to attend such an event and discuss the issues affecting the SATCOM community across the region.

RF Circuit & System Design 2 - 6 July 2012 The course has been specifically designed to cover the major elements relevant to engineers working or starting out in the RF field and should provide them with the expertise required to excel in this, their chosen field. By joining some of the foremost experts in the field of RF engineering delegates will quickly be given the tools to get to grips with the major aspects of RF Circuit & System Design.
