Importance of VSAT
The figure given below represents the block diagram representation of the
VSAT transmitter and receiver:
The antenna unit of VSATs is placed on the top of a building and to have
maximal gain to system noise temperature of the receiving system at the
initial phase, a low noise amplifier is placed closer to the antenna so as to
reduce or eliminate the cable losses before pre-amplification takes place.
Considering the transmitter section, at the very beginning, a source of data
is present which is followed by a modulator, and then a UP converter is
placed. The signal at the output of the UP converter is a power amplifier.
While in the receiver section, there is a preamplifier placed near the
antenna, the amplified signal from the LNA is down-converted and then a
demodulating unit provides the original message signal. The signal
obtained from the demodulator is provided to a baseband processor that
acts as the last unit to process the received data and provide it to the end
user.
Star Network
Mesh Network
The VSAT technology offers transmission and reception of data by
antennas having small terminals thus the antenna terminals can be
installed at various distributed locations and these form connections with
the central hub via satellite. Basically, the VSAT network allows the data
coming from the satellite to get redirected to various remote terminals over
the earth.
