Lernergebnisse

Satellite communication is an essential part of all satellite missions. The numerous small satellites of TU Berlin offer a unique insight into this field. In the scope of this curricular project, the participants build ground station components within interdisciplinary teams. The course covers topics from radio communication and signal processing as well as electrical, mechanical and software engineering. Students will be able to summarize 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, - describe the general structure of satellite ground stations as well as their hard- and software components, - organize small aerospace engineering projects, - use open source soft- and hardware tools for management and development, - recognize basic terms relevant for satellite communication, - explain the architecture of a satellite link, - use equipment for measuring the quality of a satellite link.

Lehrinhalte

Beschreibung der Lehr- und Lernformen

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.
