Learning Outcomes

In the scope of a curricular project, the participants are going to build satellite ground station components within interdisciplinary teams. They will gain basic knowledge in radio communication and signal processing as well as electrical, mechanical and software engineering. They will understand the working principles of hardware and software related to satellite communication. In combination with the knowledge and skills gained in other courses in space and electrical engineering, the participants will be able to set up a a satellite communication link. They will document and present their work at the end of the project. After successful completion of this module, students will be able to - work in an interdisciplinary project team, - understand general structure and components of satellite ground stations, - organize small aerospace engineering projects, - use open source soft- and hardware tools for management and development.

Content

- Applied technical know-how regarding satellite communications: e.g. characteristics of electromagnetic waves, components for transmitter and receiver circuits, antennas, transmission path, modulation and encoding schemes, operating modes, EMC, electronics, mechanics, programming, networking and other IT components etc. - Practical hardware and/or software design as well as manufacturing and implementation - Using electrical and RF measuring instruments and/or troubleshooting tools - Methods for planning and organizing projects - Technical and project documentation and presentation of the practical work

Description of Teaching and Learning Methods

One or multiple projects in the field of satellite communication, partly chosen by the students itself, will be realized in structured teams. Each group or sub-team develops its part of the overall project and will be supported by experienced advisors. The basic knowledge needed to approach the project will be taught in a few lectures at the beginning of the course. In addition to this, students are required to extend their knowledge independently according to their assigned work package throughout the semester. The groups record their work in form of technical documents, a project report and present their results together in a final presentation. This module is part of the interdisciplinary cooperation "Space Interdisciplinary Engineering in Radiocommunications and Radio Astronomy" (SIERRA). Some module components, such as reviews and the final presentation are shared between the projects in this cooperation.

Requirements for participation and examination

Desirable prerequisites for participation in the courses:

Within the context of amateur radio: "AfuTUB-Kurs - reduziert (Amateurfunk Klasse E)" or "AfuTUB-Kurs - vollständig (Amateurfunk Klasse A)". Within the context of EECS (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science/Engineering): Basic knowledge from foundation courses, e.g. "Grundlagen Elektrotechnik, Elektrische Netzwerke, Grundlagen elektronische Messtechnik". Optionally knowledge from "Hochfrequenztechnik I" and "Nachrichtenübertragung". Within the context of Aerospace Engineering: Basic knowledge from at least one of the foundation courses "Raumfahrtplanung und -betrieb I" or "Satellitentechnik".
